Mixbook

For my third Emergent Technology Tool, I decided to use Mixbook. I really enjoyed this website because it is very easy and creative. I LOVE to scrapbook so I was very excited to learn about this new tool. There are different themes and stickers you can include with your pictures. I will definitely use this tool more often in the future! You can order your books and have them mailed to you. These would make great gifts! As a future educator, I want to keep track of all my classes. This would be a great tool in order to remember the different activities and students I've had over the years! I would reccomend this website to anyone!

Photo Share!!

For my Photo Share project, I decided to use Picturetrail. I have used Picturetrail before and I always have fun creating slide shows! This source is very helpful and easy to use! My friend introduced me to this website back in high school when we had to do a project over the past 4 years in school. All you have to do is upload the pictures you want, rearrange them, add a title, background, and captions! Picturetrail also gives you the link so you can upload it onto your Facebook or blog! :) I like Picturetrail because I can upload pictures, create a slide show, and send it to friends and family! I don't have to upload each picture individually so it saves A LOT of time! The only suggestions I have for using Picturetrail is to make sure all of your photos are small enough to upload, otherwise it may take longer and you could lose some of your pictures. Have fun and be creative! :)

RSS Feeds: Really Simple Syndication

I really enjoyed using RSS! Once again, this resource was new to me. I had heard of RSS before, but I was not sure how to use it. I had a lot of fun looking through websites and adding them to my Google Reader. It was very easy!! At first, I found websites about technology and education. Then I had the opportunity to find websites that truly interest me. As most of you know, I am a huge animal lover so I thought it would be a great idea to include the PETA website. I also included world news and of course, PEOPLE magazine! I love to keep up on my gossip! :)
I will definitely keep this website! It will be easy for me to keep up to date on everything! RSS Feed is very interesting and beneficial. I was not expecting this website to be as easy and helpful as it is. There were some websites I went to that did not have the RSS icon, but I was able to find resources that covered the same topic. Overall, this was another great technology discovery! This class has helped me tremendously! I am looking forward to see what other resources are in store for us this semester! :)

Delicious Website

I found Delicious very helpful! I had so much fun creating my website because it was fast and easy! The first thing I did was add all of the required resources then I started to add websites that I go to every day. I like Delicious because I can access it anywhere at any time! I only have to remember one website in order to get the information I need. I am glad I was introduced to this website because I will definitely use it as a student and as a teacher!

Podcast

Podcasting can be very helpful once you know how to use it! I was completely new to podcasting, and at first I was nervous about completing this assignment. For my podcast I used Audacity. I like Audacity because it is free, simple, and it gets the job done! Once I opened Audacity for the first time I played around with the different effects. I recorded myself many times just for fun so I could get the hang of it! I reccomend doing this because it makes life so much easier! After I finished my podcast I had a hard time locating the mp3 file. I downloaded LAME and everything was set, but I could not find the file! However, after searching on my lap top I finally found it and everything worked out! Dana's blog was very helpful when it was time for me to upload my podcast to my blog. On her blog she has a youtube video that explains how to upload your podcast to your blog. THANKS DANA! I reccomend looking at this video- it will save you a lot of time!! Overall, I am glad that I completed this project. Before this class I had no idea what a podcast was or how to make one. Now that I know how to make one, I am sure I will use Audacity again in the future! :)
