slide 09 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This slide will look to tackle and assess the developments which i made through the art of blogging my work and the use of www.blogger.com

The work to the left of the slide shows work which was carried out towards the beginning of the task, where we began by blogging about research an analysis of existing media product the capture of NME being an example of this and below this is a screen capture showing an extracts of my preliminary tasks introduction to the task. As you can see my blogs had always been pretty detailed and lengthy with insurance that all details were entered into the post. However all the posts contained within the slide are from when we started our preliminary task onwards where as my blog contains post from back on 18th January when we did out first compulsary post on a photo shop tutorial. This post shows more of how my technical skills with photo shop have developed due to showing just how much effort and length difference there is in comparison to the short paragraphs i was posting in January to the huge reports and analysis which have been posted more recently. The evidence of recent analysis shows screen capture of images however there was text accompanying this image it is simply not shown within the post. When i first started the unit i was rather overwhelmed my the amount of bloging which would be required to complete the course, i analysed blogs of previous candidates and couldnt understand how they could ever right so much on such topics. Thinking the tasks were impossible i became nervous about the rest of the course exspecting my life to become overtaken by this new rythm of blogging however once we had settled into the subject i realised this was not the case. Blogging was quite simple and once you sat down and thought about it well the word just kept comming and therefore the fingers kepts typing. All in all my blogs became longer and longer each time with more effort and more detail. All backed by a huge sense of motivation to do well, be the best and get the praise. In no time at all i'd learnt how to add links, edit fonts, manipulate and change html codes, upload photos and videos plus many other aspects.

Here is a link to my first ever post back on january the 18th 2010 - http://http://tashar-twilight.blogspot.com/2010/01/18-january-10.html

However this was not my first post off my own back i decided to make my first post on january 14th simply explaining the basics of the course and what the course would entail.- http://http://tashar-twilight.blogspot.com/2010/01/set-up-blog.html

I continued to blog my work after everylesson and in some cases in my free time id carry out my own research or id find somthing i wished to record and therefore would post it onto my blog so to not lose track of the idea. Blogging soon became second nature with each of my blogs in the beginning being named by the date which it was posted or the lesson date alone with + homework for those blogs which included the lessons disscussions plus extra work which we'd been asked to complete for homework.
