Web+2.0+Tools+and+Resources

     My Wikispace was not only fun, but also very easy to make! These are some of the tools that I used to create my page. You can click on any one of the icons to visit its home page.    I used Glogster to make the collages and posters that you can find on my home page, my bookshelf, my Propel Schools, and to create the sonnet poster in my projects. Glogster is an easy way to create posters, backgrounds, stylized text boxes, and collages.   <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">Scribd is a simple way to embed Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents on your Wikispace or any other web site. I used Scribd when posting the <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">Celebration of Learning flier. <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">Blabberize is a fun way to give a drawing or photograph its own voice. All it requires is a picture and a microphone (which most computers now have built in!) The Blabberize web site is full of various, unique ways that students have used the Blabbers. I used this tool as a part of the education section on my resume page. <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">With Voki, its easy to create your own animated avatar with preexisting faces, hair, outfits, and other elements to chose from. Then, just like with Blabberize, you give your creation its own voice. I also used the Voki tool when creating my <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: inline !important;">resume.  <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">Of course, YouTube is always a good way to post and share your videos like I did with my Obama Inauguration video in my projects section. <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">I used iMovie to create the video before uploading it on to YouTube. iMovie was used on my Apple computer. <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">Want to create a YouTube movie on a Dell or other PC computer? Try Windows Movie Maker! We have it on all the computers here at PASHS. <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="display: block; font-size: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; color: rgb(255, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: center;">Have fun making your own Wikispace.
