In my own words my experience with the Blog assignment;
My experience with using the “blog” has had its ups and downs. I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes to technology, and I feel more confidant and stronger when my work is on pen and paper/ sketch book rather than online. The reason being is I have difficulty with internet access, as I cannot afford a lot of internet at home, so I have a limit usage. This restricts my time when posting blogs, and the whole processing and uploading my images, thoughts and research. Whereas a sketch book it is accessible anytime.
The second issue I’ve had is with images. This is because my computer doesn’t allow me to change my images, i.e. rotate them and uploads them to the a.n website as they appeared on my laptop. Instead it uploads the original image that was uploaded from the camera. This meant that I have to spend unnecessary time using photo shop on the University Campus Suffolk computers, rotating my images.
The third issue that I ran into was mind mapping. I suffer from Dyslexia and was given a document on my computer which helps me plot them out with ease on a computer. This document then transfers these into word documents. But when I tried to upload this document/ or copy and paste it onto my post I was creating, it would allow me to paste into the text but when the post was published it was erased. Hence why the mind maps on my blog are small and displayed as photographs as this was the only way I could get them onto the Blog.
The positive side of the blog is that it is neat and tidy. You can clearly see the whole progression of the project. Allowing you to edit and review anything and add web links is also handy as you can refer back to things with ease.
Over all I have enjoyed the experience and will continue with the blog to help keep myself organised.
