My Final

This is my Presentation

My Presentation Practice

If you click here, you'll be sent into another dimension.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is a virtual calendar where you can add events on days. You can also connect it with your friends and family and put events on the calendar so all of them can see it. This is perfect for someone who has a busy summer schedule and they need rides from their parents. They can put their event on the day that they need and then their parent can see it. No more misunderstandings!

Google Hangout

Google Hangout is a video chat where you can chat up to 9 other people. You can show the other people in your hangout your screen so they can see what your doing. You can also play games with each other over the video chat.

Google Voice

Google Voice is a service that connects all your phones to one number. It takes any number that you verify and gives it a new number. So, say you have your home phone, cell phone, and work phone all connected in Google Voice, and you're waiting for a call. Instead of giving that person all three of your numbers, you can just give them one number that will ring all of your numbers.

Kerpoof

Kerpoof is a site where you can make drawing, cards, pictures, etc. You can even send the pictures to people via email.

Here is a card that I made.

 Here is a picture I made.

 Here is a picture that I made.

Toon Doo

ToonDoo is a virtual comic strip creator for people who aren't that good at drawing. You can create individual comics or you can create a couple of slides and make a book. A book can be about anything you want it to be about, and you can also use your TraitR's on it.

My username is Bballswagmane, and here is my profile picture.

Primary Games

Primary Games is a game website with action, adventure, puzzles, and strategy. It is a safe website with no bad advertisements. Here are some of my favorite games on the site.

Toon Doo

Toon Doo is a site where you can make cartoons, books, etc. You have to make a free account, but after that you can create almost anything you want. Today we just made TraitRs. Which are cartoon characters that can be changed to fit your cartoon. Here are some that I've made.

Virtual Flowers

Flowers 2 Mail is a site where you can mail a creation of your favorite flowers, along with a card. It is the perfect gift if you can't get flowers in real life or you don't have time. Here is one that I made.

Visitors To My Blog

In class we made a flag counter to track how many people from different countries visit our blogs. On my flag counter I haven't had any new visitors from other countries besides the U.S. But on my Feedjit I have had people from Warsaw and California.

Word Cloud

Yesterday we looked at word cloud sites. It is where you can type any word(s) in the text box and then it will make the words look like a cloud. Here are some of the ones I made.

Here is one from Textorizer.

Here is another one from Wordle.

Picture editing

Today we continued our search for picture editing sites. Here are some of the pictures I made.

Pic Monkey

Pic Monkey is a picture editing site that is mostly free. It is probably the most useful picture editing site in my opinion because it has so many options.

This is the picture that I made on pic monkey.

Even More Web Tools

Today we looked around on Teach Web 2 for web tools. I found Adobe online picture editor. It allows you to upload a picture and edit it. Like take out red-eyes or photo bombs for free.

The second tool I found was a cube search engine. It is a like a rubriks cube where there are different pictures on different blocks.

Web Tools

SuperTeacherTools is a website that has a bunch of teaching tools and games. It

has a random fact generator, which is also my favorite item.

Class Tools is like SuperTeacherTools, but it is more of a game website. My favorite game on that site was the FakeBook game where you can make a fake facebook from a template.

                                                                                

Stykz

Stykz is a frame by frame animation game. This is the animation I made.

ProProfs

ProProfs is a game website with crosswords, puzzles, hangman, and many more. I made a hangman game that was fairly easy. Then I made a crossword about anatomy that was very hard.

Clay Yourself

Clay Yourself is a website where you can make a clay version of a person. Here is one that I made.

Game

anatomy word search game » word searches

Avatar

Build Your Wild Self is an avatar creator where you can add many crazy things to the avatar. This is probably my favorite out of all the sites we visited.

 The next site we went to was a South Park avatar creator.

The last one, and also my least favorite, is Zui.

Google Drive

Google Drive, previously called Google Docs is a free online website where you can work on spreadsheets, papers, projects, etc. If you and a friend are working on a paper and he is home sick one day,  you could invite him to a Google Drive project and you could both work on it.

Google Offers and Panoramio

Googe Offers lets you know what sales and discounts are happening at the time. You can get mobile coupons just by clicking on the tab. There is also a shopping part where you can search the internet for discounts, sales, or coupons.

 

Panoramio is a Google website where you can search anywhere in the word and photos will come up that other people have taken. There are photos just about anywhere you can think of.

Google Jobs

iGoogle

iGoogle is a website that lets you add bookmarks all in one place. It has endless amounts of gadgets. Anything from games/humor to news and weather. Here are some gadgets I added to my profile;

\

The weather gadget automatically adds your location, and gives you a three day forecast. The second gadget I added was Famous Optical Illusions. I added this because it's always interesting to see what the eye can and can't distinguish. The last gadget I added was Turtles. It's just a couple of turtles swimming around in a little virtual tank.

Google Doodles

Google Doodles is a program that changes the google logo every so often. The design will change on holidays or important birthdays. There is an annual contest from K-12 students where they create their own google logo and send it to google. The winner will get their logo on the google search engine mail site, and money for you and your school.

Flash Vortex and Glowtxt

Glowtxt is one of the two websites that we visited today where you can make animated text generators. It has many templates you can  choose from, and many colors. You can make the text outlined or make it flash.

FlashVortex is the other animated text generator we visited. I personally like this website much better. It is more organized and you can edit much more than Glowtxt. Glowtxt is still a very good website, but if you want to edit your animated text more, and fine tune things I would definitely choose Flash Vortex.

Google Tricks

Google doesn't just have an answer to anything, it can also do some cool things. Like if you type in "do a barrel roll", the page will do a barrel roll. Also, if you type in Google Sphere, it will have all of the little side options revolve around google.

The last trick I am going to tell you is that if you type in "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything". The answer comes up as 42.

Add-ons

Today we are exploring all the add-ons on firefox. It lets you put little gadgets on your firefox browser.
1) The first gadget I added was a calendar. The calendar is always a good gadget to have so you know what you have coming up.

2) The next add-on I added on was the gmail notifier. It updates you automatically if you get an email or any other notification that can be linked to your gmail account.

3) The third gadget I added on was a tab notifier. If you have a lot of tabs and a lot of things running at once you should get the tab notifier. It notifies you with a little blinking icon that tells you have something on the other tab.

4) Another add-on I added was forecastfox weather. It lets you know the general things that are going on in the atmosphere around you.

5) The next one I added was the font size changer. It lets you universally change the size of the fonts.

6) My sixth add-on was the reminderfox and it lets you make notifications, then reminds you when the time is set.

7) The next add-on was the quick wiki look up. You just have to hold down ctrl and then type what you want you search and then you have your answer.

8) The next one I added was a search shortcut. Instead of going to google all you have to do is press a key and then you have your even faster google search.

9) Another add-on was called similarweb. It lets you know what websites are similar to the site that you are on.

10) The last add-on I am adding is stumble upon. It lets you discover cool photos and vidoes that are related to the page your on.

Backrounds

Another website that we visited today was The Cutest Blog on the Block This website lets you choose a backround for your blog to make it more personalized. It has many catagories from masculine to feminine. If you can think of it, it most likely has it.

Firefox Personas

Today we learned about Firefox Personas. It lets you create or choose your own backround to your Firefox engine. You can go through countless categories and also you can search for your own custom backround.

Feedjit

Feedjit is a gadget that allows you to see everybody that comes and goes to your blog. It also tells you what website they're coming from and what they're going too. If you go to the website itself it can tell you what browser they are using and what country they are from.

Favicon

Today we explored a website that lets you create an emblem or sign by your html. The website i explored was called Favicon.cc. I like this website I visited because not only can you make your own very creative favicon, but you can also search all the other favicons other people created.                                      

Blogging on the iPad

The iPad version is very user friendly. It allows you to access all of your blog posts very easily and edit them fast. Although it may be more user friendly, it is not as in-depth as the computer version. On the computer version you can edit everything down to the colors of the punctuation marks. For quick easy posts I would most certainly choose the iPad for the simplicity of it. But if you wanted to edit your colors and template I would use the computer so you can go more in-depth. Overall I still like computer version better than the iPad version just because I started out with the computer, but I think overtime I will enjoy the iPad version more.

Symbaloo

Symbaloo is a social bookmarking website that lets you create a mix of your favorite sites. It allows you to find some of your favorite or most useful websites and put them on a page. You can also make other pages where you can categorize your websites into smaller sections. To visit Symbaloo click here.

Blogger Gadgets

The first gadget I added was random pictures of Winnie The Pooh. It gives you a random picture of one of the Winnie The Pooh characters.

The second gadget I added was a virtual pet turtle named Turby. The gadget doesn't do much other than move the turtle when you click on it.

The next gadget I added was a fish tank/pond. It is just simply a nifty little thing to entertain you.

The calendar gadget lets you know the date and year.

The world clock tells you the time of places on the other side of the earth and other places.
