Information Gained From Year 13

Talk about thrillers

Year 13 told us that we need to talk about every type of thrillers; this is because it enables up to view all different types of thrillers which could add to our ideas.

Another tip was that we should research all thrillers that we enjoy watching, this is because we would know and enjoy the films and would be able to notice more.

slideshare.netYear 13 introduced me this website named ‘slideshare’.It allows me to upload PowerPoint presentation and makes it more interesting to view.

When you first log in, you will see a big ‘upload’ button which if you click it will allow you to upload a presentation.

Once you have selected the presentation it will start to upload; once is has finished uploading it will come up in a video form which you can click to go forward or backwards and makes your presentation look more interesting

www.wordle.netAnother site that year 13 introduced me to was ‘wordle’. This site allows me to type up words and it mixes the words around, changes colour and makes it a lot more interesting than a long list of words.

Once you have typed up all your words into this bar, you press ‘Go’.

After pressing ‘Go’ it comes up in a bubble of words which you can change by pressing the randomize button.

As you randomize a lot of different styles will appear; this allows you to pick your favourite, I chose this one as I think it is affective towards our blog.

www.prezi.comAnother site that year 13 thought would be effective is ‘prezi’. This site allows you to create your own slides and add your own effects onto them. It allows us to organize, present, and share our presentation.

You create a new prezi by clicking on the ‘+ New Prezi’ button; this allows you to add in backgrounds photos, text, effects, all different types of fades and a lot more. You can do this by clicking on the buttons along the top of your prezi

Year 13 basically explained that if we want to create a good blog we should use a lot off different media and that essays and long lists would not be effective. Therefore we should use lots off different medias from PowerPoint to drawing on the white board at school.We should also do a few videos; all of this creates a more interesting Blog to view.

Year 13 advice has definitely helped as we now can use a wider range of media to present on our blog and we can also split what sites we use among ourselves as before we would only use a few sites. Year 13 ideas also have made it easier to create new posts for the blog and will hopefully make it easier to add new media onto our blog.
