How did you use technologies in the research, planning and evaluation stages?

Well i thought i'd put this question in a quick summary, because i have a feeling i've missed out a few things in my evaluations - maybe.
So in my research i used technologies like web 2.0 alot, with the use of blogger and of youtube. Finding videos and analysing them then uploading them to my blog via the video button. I also did my digipak/magazine ad comparison on powerpoint and then converted the powerpoint into pdf images and uploaded them to blogger via the picture button. I did this just to brighten up the blog post a bit, rather than just having writing!
In the planning sections, i used windows movie maker to create a storyboard that would be a video itself in order to give us an idea of what the finished product would look like. I used paint to create a basic magazine advertisement. All the other work done by hand had to be scanned into the computer and then uploaded to blogger.
In order to get all of my created videos onto blogger i had to create a youtube account. When trying to upload my videos to youtube i found that the file size was too big and so had to convert it into a smaller one using a programme on the editing suite. Once the videos were uploaded (which still took a very long time!) i had to go onto blogger and click the video button but had to choose to upload things from my youtube channel rather than typing the name of the video i created into the basic youtube browser because it didn't come up!
