New Media

It refers to on-demand access to content

anytime, anywhere, on any digital

Blogger

Blogger is a useful and

interactive site that makes

it easy to create a blog in

order to keep track of my

research, planning, production and

evaluation. It is very organised and flexible

which means you can embed and add a lot

of features such as

Prezi, Slideshare, images, videos, HTML

codes and others.

Prezi

Prezi is a site that allows people

to create interactive content and

share it throughout the internet on sites such as

blogger. It follows the pattern of basic slides with text

but has different and more engaging transitions

between them. Moreover it is more flexible than

programs such as powerpoint and has a has more

features such as setting a more appealing

background. I have used Prezi for posts such as “Pop

Rock Research” and “Similar Text” as it can separate

different categories, just like on a powerpoint, from

each other.

Slideshare

Slideshare allows people

to share their powerpoint

presentations, such as this

one, and embed it on sites such as blogger.

Using powerpoint I can make a simple slide

presentation separating different parts of the

question but at the same time make the

answer and blog look more engaging in

contrast to a boring block of text. Overall it is

a useful tool and I mainly used it to make the

research posts look more interactive.

Youtube

Youtube is a website that allows one to upload

videos such as the final music video or the

preliminary task and have the option to add

annotations to them. This is less interactive as

Prezi or Slideshare as it only plays a video without

any interactive features. However it may be more

engaging and it helps the blog have a wider

variety of content. Moreover I used youtube for

easy access to other music videos for and take

screen shots to help my project. Thanks to this site

I could demonstrate my work easier and faster as

it can be embedded and accessed almost

everywhere.

Google

Google is a very useful website that let me find images and facts to support my research and planning. For example for this task I used google images to search for logo’s as well as many other tasks where I had to input images into slideshare or prezi. My digipack analysisis a good example of both as it uses images as well as I had to use google to find the facts about Avril Lavigne’s sales.

Tagxedo

Tagxedo is a useful site that allows one

to embed an interactive and engaging

word cloud onto the blog. It gives the

blog a wider variety of features to appeal

to the viewer. It is also useful for

brainstorming all the possible words that

are associated with the specific

genre, as shown in the Genre Research

task.
