Reflecting on my coursework

When looking through all of the links, I chose a one from each subheading to look at, here are what I thought of a handful of the websites...

Remember the milk:
I think that this site us very useful and good to help you organise tasks which I think we will be doing a lot of in Media. I like this website because I found it quite easy to use considering I've never come across it before. I think there is a possibility I will use this organisation tool when completing my coursework if it is needed.

Podomatic:
My computer at home isn't compatible with this website but when I briefly looked at it at school, I found that creating a podcast and listening to them was quite straight forward, however I think that the website could be easier to work out. I think testing out other audio tools would be useful as I think that I should use a tool that I will be able to use on my computer just in case work has to be completed outside of the classroom.

Tubechop:
I think Tubechop is a really good website to trim videos simply, it gives clear instructions and samples of how to use the website. However I don't think the website would be useful if the clips/videos weren't off youtube or videos with links to them, as you need to use links to find the videos to be able to clip/trim them. I would like to think I could use this website in my coursework.

Photobucket:
Photobucket is a really good way to store your photos and also a good way to save storage space; this also allows you to have easy access to your photos online. This website is also a good way to share and view other peoples photos. Not only this, but I like the way you can transfer files from computer to computer, from work or school; this will be very useful and reliable in my opinion!

SlideShare:
I have never used SlideShare before and I think that the website is one of my favourites because you don't just use power points in media, you use them in most lessons. I've found this quite useful as it will help me out in all of my subjects now. I'm really happy I have now found this website because I would definitely like to use this website whenever I can and it is relevant. I like the way you can see other peoples and featured slide shows for presentation ideas and motivation. I think this way of creating power points looks really effective and fun.

Quizlet:
I have recently used Quizlet in Year 11 and found that I did actually learn a lot from quizzing myself. I also found it useful and found that I used the website more than I imagined myself to as it is easy access and fun to use. The different activities are fun and motivate you to revise. I will definitely be using this revision tool when I can and use this website to plan my work with the mind map/brainstorm tools.

I continued to look at all of the other categories full of useful websites and found that I wouldn't mind using these tools in my coursework wherever I can. I think my reviewing the class work and looking through these websites have given me an idea of what tools I like and which ones I dislike, so this then gives me an idea of which ones I would like to use in the future. I have found this task very useful!
