Blog
I have used a blog to write about my
thoughts about ‘Votes at 16’
...
Writing up a blog post allowed
me to write as much as I want which let
me instantly publish what I have written
on the internet to allow my blog post to
be publicly seen by other people
...
This also allows
the reader to subscribe to the blog so the employer will
know who is interested in the product
...
In my blog I have
discussed why ‘Votes at 16’ should and should not be allowed by giving advantages and
disadvantages, as well as giving an overall opinion of what I think is best
...
Also, it allowed me to make my blog look attractive through backgrounds and font choices
...
I have also rejected the use of instant messaging as this would not let me share
information to a variety of people as it would only allow me to converse with certain amount of
people
...

Email
I have used email to send a message to my ICT
teacher, saying how I am right for the job as a
Sales Assistant in John Lewis, by stating the skills
and qualities I have
...
This was an appropriate way to
communicate as it would be more useful to
directly send the message on the email so they
are able to reply instantly, which will set a
conversation style layout showing previous
messages to and from the recipient and I
...
Also, it makes employees and the
management more efficient and productive by enabling quick responses to any issue that may arise
...

I have used appropriate email customs, by ensuring there is a subject for the email
...
Also, I have added an attachment of my CV so the recipient is able to access it, as
well as using applicable acknowledgment by first addressing to the recipient- ‘To Ms Simmons’
...

For example, if you use Twitter and tweet it would allow less privacy, and would not be able to write
more than 160 characters
...
This would however not be
appropriate when writing in the style of a letter

Word Processing
I have used Word Processing to create a
‘User Guide’ to inform my audience how
to play the game
...

Word Processing is also a good way to go
back and change any grammatical or
spelling mistakes, as for instance if the
document was hand written I would have
to start again to provide the same amount
of consistency
...

Word Processing is appropriate to use in a variety of work situations, for example it allows you to
This was an appropriate way to
make text readable in comparison to handwriting
...

would allow him to respond and save time
rather than having a face to face
I have used Word Processing for my User Guide as it is simple to use and I can fit large amounts of meeting
...
Likewise, it is also professional and will make text neater than if it
was handwritten
...
I
have included a contents page in my User Guide to show the audience which sections are on what
page, as well as images of different parts of my game so it can visually aid the audience on how the
game works as well as being more interested
...

I decided not to use instant messaging for this communication as I wouldn’t be able to edit the text
once I’ve already sent it and it wouldn’t allow me to do different fonts and style which would make
the text illegible for the audience
...
I have also rejected the use
of video conference as it wouldn’t allow me to write up on a document as it is only used to
communicate verbally to other people without haven’t to write anything
...
Presentation is a good way to fit
a concise amount of information on the
slides
...


Presentation software is appropriate to use in a variety of work situation, for example it allows you to save and edit the
documents and separate different sections on the slides
...
Moreover, it lets you change fonts and styles of texts which makes it visually
engaging
...
In order for people to understand, I have used Standard
English without the use of slang as this would be professional
...
Also, to make the information easy to read, I have separated each
of the information in different slides as this would make it easier for me to explain and go through the different
sections of information
...
I have also rejected the use of a blog as this
wouldn’t allow me to present information that is easy viewing where I am able to present the information to the
audience in a clear way, which I think is most appropriate to use on a presentation software
...
This was appropriate
way to communicate as it is
internet-based and allowed me
to send the message in a quicker
way which allows me to maintain
a quicker discussion rather than
seeing them in person
...


I have used appropriate use of Standard English without the use of slang as my friend and I was
discussing about the elections and this required formality in the style of writing
...


Therefore, I decided not to use Word Processing as it wouldn’t allow instant messaging to be sent
out to people, as Word Processing is only used to write up large amounts of writing
...

Instant messaging
For instant messaging I have
used Facebook showing a
conversation to set up a brief
meeting
...


Facebook is appropriate to use in a variety of work situations, for example it is a social media that
connects lots of people, which allows people to compose messages or post a comment on their wall
and other person will see this almost instantaneously
...
For example, an organisation can have a Facebook page on the project
that they are working on, this will therefore allow important information that employees might need
to know, meeting places or different resources they need which can be simply posted onto the
page’s wall
...


I have decided to choose Facebook to communicate and not use a presentation software as this
would not allow me to communicate with other people as this is only used to present a piece of
work visually
...
Therefore, using Facebook can be useful as it makes communication easy and efficient,
instead of writing letters or emails to your colleagues as they could get lost or ignored as well as
when using podcasts or presentation
