2. 1.1Why did you use a computer? What other systems / resources could you have used? Written it or used a type writer but I wouldn’t of been able to use the internet for images to make it more eye catching. Another problem is if I made a problem like a spelling mistake I would have to restart the presentation. A problem with a type writer is that you need to keep refiling it with ink. Another problem with writing is you have to spend a lot of time with it and you use a lot of ink from pens. A problem with both of them is you cant send it over email so you have to post it so it can be delivered after you need it delivered.

3. 1.2What skills did you need to learn in order to use PowerPoint? The skills needed are how to put pictures and animations on, you need to learn how to make a master slide a master slide is a slide that you put on a picture it will be on all the slides, you also need to learn the shortcut controls like (ctrl + p) paste (ctrl + c) copy, You also need to learn how to save your work to a certain file so if you want to continue it you can, you need to learn how to make hyperlinks to anywhere you want to go, you also need to know how to use word art to make your work eye catching.

4. 1.2What resources did you need to make the presentation successful? You need to put on picture/ animations and videos to make it interesting you also need hyperlinks to take the person watching to be able to navigate to where they want to go to on a certain page like if they were on the home screen and they wanted to go to the uniform page they could easily get to it by clicking a hyperlink you also need to make information in your own words to make sure that people know what you are talking about and you should sometimes use a graph to help make sure that people know how the subject can rise if they do something to help the subject you want.

5. 1.4What factors might have affected how well you completed the presentation? (e.g. time / attendance / knowledge of software) Time would mean how much time you put in it like if you spend an hour each day and you have 2 weeks to complete it you would an hours worth of 2 weeks on it attendance is how many days you spend on it so you could spend 3 weeks on it to make sure you have included everything on it that you needed but you need to know how to use the software but to do that you need to know how to use the software because if you don’t know how to use it you can put a virus on it and not know that you have.

6. 1.6Why did you use PowerPoint to make your presentation? What other software was available? Why did you choose not to use them? I used PowerPoint because it was the easiest one to make a presentation on it also can make it easiest one to make eye catching because the animations move on it and you can also use the tool of master slide to help make one picture on it on all of them so it save time and hyperlinks can also be used on the master slide other recourses I could of used are word or excel I could of used excel to make a graph or word to make it easier to understand with just words and I could of used the the internet to upload my work over the internet.

7. 1.7Were there any legal constraints or local constraints that changed the way you created your presentation? (e.g. copyright, file sizes, AUP) There were a few constraints since we were only aloud to use a certain size file so I had to shorten videos and pictures and we were aloud to use texts from the schools files and we had to bring animations from websites that have been approved by the school otherwise we had to use a memory stick to save the animations on the sounds we put on also had to be either from the school sounds or we had to use a memory stick to transport it on to we had to put expectable videos these had to come from the school save

8. 2.2Which tools within PowerPoint made it appropriate for your presentation? Hyperlinks helped make it expectable using the transport so if I wanted to go to the uniform picture and I was on the home page I just click the hyperlink, I also used expectable backgrounds and fonts so it relates to the subject about it and I used the master slide to put a few things in the all the slides so I didn’t have to sort out all the slides one of the things I used is the school badge because I thought it was expectable and when I introduced the head of house’s I used the different coloured versions of the school badge

9. 2.4What improvements do you think you could do to your presentation? I think I could put more information about the school like about what subjects they will learn in their subjects like that they will learn circuits in their science class and that they will about drugs in their pshe I could add the school computing rules could have been added to it like that downloads can be used and that playing computer games are not acceptable during class, I could of also could of put the behavioural system on to the presentation to worn the students that bad behaviour is not excepted and also how the vivo system operates and what is on the vivo shop.

10. 3.2What improvements do you think you could have done to improve your work rate? (keyboard shortcuts, file names & locations, backups, work after school, templates, planning) I could of started to work after school and at breaks and lunch so I could get the work quicker I could also put a shortcut on the file so I could get to the file quicker instead of finding it and I could of put the work on a memory stick so I could work at home as well at school I could also put the work and the planning in a file in a certain place I could of planed the times after school to get my work finished and prepared I could also learnt how to use the key board shortcuts to help speed up my work rate
