Week 5-
This weeks we learnt all about Prezi and how to use it. We also made our first prezi, I found this very helpful and decided we would use Prezi for the e-marketing part of our group project.

Prezi is a presentation software, used for presenting ideas on a virtual canvas.

We started off by setting up a Prezi account and selected a theme for making our own prezi.
I decided to make my prezi on artificial intelligence.

I used the different features of prezi to add images, diagrams and youtube videos. I also added a variety of frames and customized my theme.
I really enjoyed using prezi and feel more confident now for when i go to use it again.
From watching the tutorial I am now aware of all the different features and how to use them!

Here is a link to my prezi: http://prezi.com/n6uprayadg7e/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share

Here is a screenshot of the theme I was using and what my prezi looked like:

A Day With No Technology!!

One day in class, Shane suggested that we all try carry out a day using no technology.
Hearing the challenge at first doesnt sound like the worst and in fact, I thought I would be able to handle one day pretty easily!
Although, it was certainly easier said than done! I decided to try it one day and being honest, I didnt make it very long.
Firstly, I found it difficult to even remember the challenge I was taking part in and a lot of the time I found myself going to pick up my phone, not because I needed it for anything but just out of boredom and without thinking. I found it almost impossible to carry out daily tasks like checking emails and making arrangements with people. It stopped me from being able to research and look up certain information.
I felt like I could be missing out on big news or plans without being able to look at my phone. By the end of the day, hours without technology had felt like days!
This challenge made me realise just how much we rely on technology today.
