Social Media! :)

This semester I learned a lot about the web that I didn't know before. Meez was probably my favorite thing we explored. There are so many different rooms and accessories to choose from. Google was really cool also. I had no idea Google had so many tools to use and explore. I will use a lot of they Google tools we explored. The firefox add-ons was so much fun to explore. There are so many tools and other websites to explore. I really liked the personas because it made my firefox explorer look really fun and creative. Social Media was so much fun and educational at the same time. I learned so much more about all the tools the web has to offer. I'm really glad I decided to take this class it was without a doubt a great time. I can now use the web more efficiently! Also I found out new and different ways to do projects and search for information. This class made it easier to find information for school and other activities on the internet. Thank you Mrs. James for everything you taught us this semester!!!!!!:)

Internet Safety!

While enjoying the web it is also a  good idea to think about how safe it really is. Many people don't realize that all because someone's profile says they are a 15 year old girl doesn't really mean they are that could be some creeper trying to talk to young girls. Internet safety is very important!! For more information check out Emilie and I's notaland post of internet safety!

Firefox Add-ons

Firefox Add-ons have some great features that can make using the internet a lot more easier. Like instead of having to go to youtube someone could just add it to their firefox toolbar and with one click find the video they want to see.  Picnik is an add on that lets you edit and add things to your pictures. Also I added the I Am Bored button it takes you to different sites with articles and you can either dislike or like the articles.

Google Doc

Google Docs makes writing a paper from home so much easier. I use to have to write papers only at school because I couldn't get the paper to open at home. With Google Docs you can also share a document with someone else and they can edit and change things while your on it still.  Google Docs works with pages, Microsoft word, and excel. This tool makes homework so much easier to get done. If someone didn't have Microsoft word or pages they could just use Google Docs and they can get there paper written, edited, and be ready to turn it in without having to hurry to finish it at school.

Tinychat and Favicon

Tinychat is where you can video chat and regular chat with many people all at once. Its your very own chat room and anyone can join. In tinychat you have your very own page and can update your status and other cool activities. Also with tinychat you can have multiple video chats with many different people all at once. This tool is really fun and I can see myself using it a lot.






Favicon is a website that allows someone to personalize an icon next to the URL. The website Favicon stands for Favorite Icon it has many icons to choose from. Also you can make your own or find a picture off the internet. Some icons are animated which adds a very nice effect next to the URL.

Domain!



http://www.godaddy.com/default.aspx

GoDaddy.com is a place where someone can create a domain name. A domain is good if someone wants to make it easy for other people to get to their blog or website. It also helps them remember the website because its not a long name its short and sweet and people can remember it. Someone can use .com .net .bis or .org to create a domain. GoDaddy great to use if someone has already used the name it will give you available options.

Personas



Using personas is a great way to personalize a Firefox toolbar. There is many themes to choose from for every different personality. Also there are animated, holiday, and other special themes to choose from. Unfortunately personas can only be used on Firefox and not on any other web browser. Check out personas for yourself.  http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/All/Popular

Heart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all animals with a circulatory system (including all vertebrates), that is responsible for pumping blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The term cardiac (as in cardiology) means 'related to the heart' and comes from the Greek καρδιά, kardia, for 'heart'."

Wordle

Wordle is a great site to make fun and creative word projects. In wordle if someone wants a word to stand out that person would just have to type that word a lot, so that it is bigger than all the other words. Wordle also has many different colors and directions the words can be in.  Tagxedo  is also a really fun site! It as many shapes that it puts the word in and the word pops out when the mouse moves over it. I had a lot of fun creating word clouds!

Meez!!

Meez is a fun and different twist on the average avatar. This website has lots of options and tools to choose from. You can choose all types of clothing, hairstyles, make-up,shoes and even facial features.  The weakness of this site is that you have to pay for some of the tools you use, but I still think this site is fun. After making your meez avatar you can even put in a background. The Meez website is amazing I had so much fun with it.

How I currently use social media.

When I'm online I usually just get on facebook and youtube. I like having a facebook cause I can check out what my friends are up to and pictures they put up. Also youtube is fun cause I can check out videos and entertainment that's not on Tv. If I missed my favorite show its usually on youtube.
