A final Collage.

This is a collage to sum up everything we did this semester. Now that I'm out of this class, I might have to do work instead of making blog posts. Darn. Anyway, HERE IT IS:



Junk we did #2: In the End.

Weebly

Weebly is a we- you know, it's obvious that it's a website, let's just get into this. Weebly lets you create a website. Yeah. All the tools are provided, and you can have your website for free, but you can pay for your own custom domain. Here is a website i made.


P.S. This is my last post! Happy summer!

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a web browser. Duh. Anyway, It's pretty cool. You can use your Google account (G+, Gmail, Youtube, etc.) to keep track of your bookmarks and such. You can also get add-ons of various types. Kind of like Firefox, but better. You can download it by clicking on the text HERE 

infogram

Infogram is a website that allows you to create flyers or news clips. You can include graphs, text, pictures, and other media to convey your advertisement or statistics. Here is an example.




I don't own Skullcandy. Just for the record. 

StoryJumper

Storyjumper allows you to create a storybook using props, text, and other tools. It's pretty useful. Kinda. Here is an example I made. (had to link it, sorry.)

Animoto

Animoto is a website (duh, I'm doing a post about it) that enables you to make a 30 second video about pretty much whatever you want, given a few restrictions, of course. Here is an example that I made over the things we've done this year:


Junk we did.

The song is "Sexy Beast" by Stereotronique. Don't want to get banned again.

Padlet

Padlet is a tool you can use to create a wall to share with your friends. You can make a wall, put pictures on it, and visit other people's walls. Hilarity may ensue.

This is probably a bad idea, but here is a wall I made so that you can see for yourself. It can be found here.

Go2web20

Go2Web20 is a website that lists a whole bunch of cool websites for you to use, I chose two to include:




Vine:

Vine is a website that allows you to make very short (around six seconds) videos and upload them to be viewed by the community. (Note: Vine may not load on a desktop computer. if this is the case, try using an iOS device or an android device.)


Skype:

Skype is a video chat/voice chat service that also allows you to call mobile phones. Skype is free, but you have to pay for direct calls to phone numbers.

Firefox Add-ons.

So, apparently Firefox, the Mozilla web browser, offers Add-ons, which are pretty much just gadgets that you add to your browser. These can be themes, which change the background of the browser, or Extensions, which are tools including calendars, calculators, google products, and games.

StudyStack

StudyStack is a website that you can use to make study games and flashcards, here is an example that I made on the popular BBC show; Doctor Who:











This isn't spam, is it google?

WordsearchMaker.net

Ohai! I'm back, had a few problems with the automated filtering systems, but I'm back with this awesome site that lets you create one of the most time wasting and stress elevating puzzles of all time. Word Searches. Here is an example themed with the popular video game by Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:

Make Your Own Word Search

If you want to create one for yourself, the link can be found by clicking the beautiful text HERE.

Bloggif

Bloggif is, well a gif-making website. There are plenty of different styles and effects, good for making almost any type of .GIF file. Here are some examples:

Powtoon

Powtoon is a website that enables you to create detailed slideshows.
Example:

Tagul

Tagul is another word cloud website, but this one has more capabilities. You can upload an image to turn into a cloud. Here is an example:

Wordle

Wordle is a website that you can use to make word clouds. 

This is a word cloud I made from the plot of the popular video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:

Loogix

LooGix is a website used to add animations to uploaded pictures.



loogix.com

Stykz

Stykz is a stick figure animation service where you can create animations that can be turned into .GIF files. Here is an example of an animation created on Stykz:

Flame Painter

Flame painter is an online tool that is used for drawing. The setup allows for easy and beautiful flame creations, the link here will take you to the site where you can try it for free and create things like this:

Avatars

No, the fire nation isn't attacking, Digital avatars. A digital avatar is used when you don't want to show your face or a real photo isn't available. This website is an avatar creating site, themed like the popular show "South Park".




This is an avatar I created on that site:

Google Hangouts

Google Hangout is a video chatting utility. You can chat, share screens, add effects, and type in the text chat. Users need to have a Google plus account, a software download is also required. Chats can be across operating systems, as well. So, be it business or social, Google Hangouts is a great tool for communication.

Google Products

These are some of the services that Google offers, specifically ones that I find to be useful and entertaining:



Youtube:

Youtube is a video sharing and viewing website. (If you don't know what Youtube is, get off of the internet and evaluate yourself.) Users can subscribe to their favorite posters and 'like' their videos using their Google account.




Google Drive:

Drive is a resource that allows you to store information. It also comes with a Word processing/Spreadsheet/powerpoint tool known as Google Docs, which is free to use.




Gmail:















Gmail is an e-mail service from google (duh) and is once again, accessible via your google account.
