Throughout my blog I have used a number of technologies to complete it, in the following post I will make a list of these and evaluate their usefulness:
- Internet for research = very useful although some of the websites weren't particularly useful
- JSTOR = needed this to get journal articles, my research wouldn't have been so in depth without it but I did have to learn how to sift through all the articles to get the ones which were relevant to me
- Kindle app = one of my contemporary sources - Plutarch - was accessed through here so it was an essential app to have
- Microsoft Office (Word, Edexcel, Power Point) = doing all my writing (dissertation, planning), my Gantt chart (a new skill) was done on Edexcel, my practice presentations were done on Power Point
- Prezi = This was the software used to do my final presentation, never presented with Prezi before so it was something new to adapt to
- Weebly = software used for my blog - something else I'd never done before - which I had to learn how to do
- Google Docs = very useful because it gave me confidence that my work wouldn't be lost, also useful because it is compatible with Microsoft and you can upload documents onto it
- Questionnaire = Used Google Docs for this, my primary research would have been quite limited without it
- Email = wouldn't have been able to contact any academics without it
- Harvard Referencing = something I'd never done before and had to learn how to do, once I realised it was an option on Word it made everything a lot easier
