QRstuff QR codes are the way of the future, supposedly. I've tried to make it work but I've never succeeded, I see how it could be more convenient but for me I'm sticking to the URL. Also the public must be educated on how to use them, I've failed and don't understand it, maybe if i actually tried but the current system works and there's no need for me to use this apps.

StatPlanet is a very informative website that shows a lot of interesting facts. I think it is reliable material and has some things that i would never have though about. It shows the information in very good ways to make the viewer have the best information experience. i recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or get a perspective of the given topics on a world wide scale.
Bomomo this website is very intreaging and fun But very hard to do. It is unpredictable and hard to use, so for fun i would use it. Other than that it will only bring frustration.

Piktochart


Piktochart > anything else, i like it alot more than anything i've used so far because it is entertaining and clean. Easy to use and gives a better presentation than words or anything not interactive. Also more of a professional look to it. I can see myself using this in the future although i do hope that they fix a couple issue like hot the ts look like ls and sometimes it becomes slow, other than that great and cant wait to find an excuse to use it again.

Journal

Emerging technologies 2014 with Mr. Vander Hart, I've learned many things in a safe, fun and supportive environment. From web 2.0 tools to simply improving my typing skills, but above all, my favorite has been this blog. Blogger is an increasingly popular site that is friendly and easy to the user. I see it as a personal public page, like Facebook but more on events and activities and not so much personal things, not open to everyone. Photoshop was also an eye opening tool, revolutionary, easy and fun!

Voki is a funny way to pass time, if you have NOTHING better to do with your time... if I ever get this bored and cant sleep i'd rather read. there is no purpose to this web 2.0 tool. Maybe some 13 year old likes it but a 17 year old is a bit old for it. nevertheless it can use some work in customization because the finish product is not as nice as i was hoping.

Timetoast is a useful tool to present information in a orderly fashion, yet easy and natural to the eye. I liked it a lot although i do not think i will need to use it in the future, because it takes too long to make and is a very plane presentation. There is no customization on the background and tabs and such. Either way I would recommend it to others because with time and dedication the product can be good.

Glogster is a good way to make a page presentation/paper.  Think it was neat useful, but sometimes hard to work with because everything has to load 2 times. Not only that double clicking does unwanted pop ups. Above all i still prefer the manual papers or even word, but still a nice change up with pleasant results.
Quizlet is a very useful tool that i have used before and will more than likely use again. It helps study when paper and materials are not available, also share things through the internet. Not only that a lot of people use it for the same reason and flashcard sets can sometimes already have been made. Teachers create classes and anyone can join, truly good and the fact its free makes it even better.

Photoshop is the state of the art photo editing software up to date. In my experience with the last project where we traveled the web to find the best photo editing they all fell short of Photoshop. It is easy to use, the possibilities are endless and it just looks great! Everything is lined up and on sight, at first the layers where tricky but once you know how to unlock the layers, they become the best tool! Also the magnetic lasso was quite the surprise and it worked perfectly. I know it is expensive and maybe you cant get it, but if you get the chance try it and be creative.

Animoto is a great little free App to create 30 second videos with a message in m any different settings. I found it to be frustrating due to the different size pictures but other than that it was fluid and effortless to create a finished product. I see myself using this in the future in order to inform others quickly of a curtain topic, but not to do the whole project.

The Hero Factory was a fun website where i created a hero on my exact image ;) yea right. It had some peculiar choices and although vary vague also very limited, I did not like the amount of clothes there were or colors but weapons and hair were very interchangeable. I recommend it for small children without a whole lot of imagination.

Free photo edeting

Free Photo Edeting


  1. PicMonkey: was a nice and eazy way to edit photos although there are too moany options for my use, alot of extra things that cost as well, but overall great website.
  2. Befunky: Easy to use, just enough and simple to edit and make it look the way you want. My favorite website.
  3. Phixlr: needed an update for this computer system, so definitely not bvw user friendly. 
  4. ipiccy: a little empty, i felt like the website could offer more than it did, too basic and complicated.
  5. Picnik: has closed... part of Google now. so i assume it must have been good.
  6. DrPic: rough, squared, my least favorite website, recommend it only if u have squares, because thats all you can edit with. and the computer does it for you, also when croping you dont even see the rule of thirds.

ZooBurst


ZooBurst is an app that allows you to practically write a kids book to get your message across. I did not like how the picture selection is very limited as well as the editing capabilities of those animals is not as detailed as i would like. For kids it seams fun minus all the paper struggle to bend the animals properly. I don't think i will be using this in the future but iam sure among soccer moms it is wildly popular.

Wordle

Wordle: Censorship

Wordle is a fun way for me to create a intro page. Gives the viewers a sneak peak at the most used words which effortlessly gives a summery of what the passage will say. I will definitely use this at some point later on in life.

Censorship Survey

Google form is something totally new to me i think is very useful. I will definitely use this in the future for school projects. It was easy to use and share. I hope don't absolute hate taking it but it is greatly appreciated for your honest response.

Bubble on Censorship

Brainstorm Bubbl is a tool the makes it easy to form ideas and express them in an easy way to show the public. It follows the natural though of process and is really easy to make. Controls are short and easy to memorize. I defiantly see myself using this for a latter project.

Symbaloo

I have a Symbaloo!! it is a work in progress but i think this takes away the hastle that is finding the website you want to use every time. Call it a shortcut, but it is more than that since you can have anything you need there. I like it a lot.

Prezi


Prezi is a change from regular power point, a common background and a moving screen that zooms to where you established earlier. It has a good appeal that keeps the audiences eyes on the screen and ears on you. I think I personally will use prezi in the future for more stories telling presentations. They are easy to make but do not have many features to express the information presented like Power point does.
