Overall, I've found that I like prezi very much and will continue to use it in the future. It's novel to me, as I had not heard of it before I came to City. I enjoyed playing around with it and experimenting with the different effects you can achieve. However, I think to really come to grips with it will take me quite a long time, as I didn't find it that intuitive. I found the tutorials useful and I thought
Ned Potter's advice to position your materials sympathetically to avoid motion sickness was particularly wise. When I watched the first prezi I made (before reading any tutorials), the effect was dizzying and a bit horrible. I haven't included a prezi in this blog post, but will put one up once I have thought of a good topic.
I've also become fond of Doodle. I have used doodle before as a participant, but I have never created one for an event myself. I was very pleased with how straightforward it was and I think it is a useful tool that I will continue to use from now on.

Survey Monkey: why is the 'Seriously Blue' theme grey? Or have I misunderstood? Apart from this, I liked survey monkey. I found it fairly intuitive and straightforward to use. Again, I haven't included a survey on this post, but will do so sometime in the future when everyone least expects it.
