Interpersonal and written skills
Verbal communication is face to face talking, it has been
very useful to me over the course as I have spoken to my teachers and they have
explained to me how to do particular tasks and gave me information regarding
the tasks in which have helped me achieve the set work.
Broadcasting is the teacher sending useful projections of
his screen which allows him to provide useful information or documents to
myself and others. This has helped me complete my tasks as it has shown how to
use various programmes such as publisher. Broadcasting has also helped me as
the teacher has shown me good examples of other people’s work which helped me
understand how to do my own work.
Blogger is an online blogging service very useful for
uploading documents in which can be viewed and edited by chosen people. It has
been very useful to me as my teacher was able to view my work and leave
comments consisting of criticism or praise. It can also be useful for instance
if someone loses a document they may be able to access it if they have posted
it on blogger.
Gmail is a free webmail website provided by Google where you
can send quick and efficient emails of any size. This service helped me a lot
in the early stage of the course. As I could send my work to my teacher and he
would email me back with improvements or confirmation of the task. This was
useful also as it was very quick which meant I could make quick improvements
and meet the deadline of the task.
PowerPoint is a programme designed by Microsoft. It is
relatively easy to use and requires little IT skills. It helped me as it can be
uploaded to my blogger easily as PowerPoint converts it to a jpeg. Which again
allows me to receive quick comments leading to quick improvements or I can move
on to the next task quicker.
Publisher: I have only used this programme once and I found
it fairly easy to use it was useful to create my top ten attributes which
allowed me to achieve a task. The disadvantages of this are that it isn’t easy
to use and takes some time to get used to it however when you know how to use the programme
it can be effectively used to make documents.
I didn’t use Google calendar in my course as I had already
completed the task that needed doing In that service.
