Web tools


Map My Run is web tool that helps you map the jog you want to take and it also has hundreds of preplanned routes in many popular cities, and countries. You can also track what you eat, how many calories you need to intake, and more. You can also track you activity with your smart phone, by use the phones GPS to track your pace, elevation, and the distance that you cover. This helps you see how many calories that burned and how your doing from day to day. Being a run myself I think that this is a very helpful and useful web tool.

Photo editing

Pic Monkey would be my choice of photo editing tool to use, because editing any photo or creating cards with existing photos is very easy to do and doesn't take much experience. Pic Monkey also has tons of existing photos and icons to put on top of the photos, to make cool cards, inventions, and just about anything else.  
 
















 Pix Ir  easiest photo editing tool to use, because you just insert your photo, choose what changes what to make and to what degree, and Pix Ir does the rest.
























Foto Flexer hardiest photo editing tool to use, but it allows you to do take a simple picture and make it your own. The website has tons of different options for changing your photos or one off the website.


















Be Funky I think is the most helpful because it doesn't take much time to learn how to use the tools on this website. Also the tools on this website are very fun and cool.

Google Drive

Google Drive is a place where you can store documents and more. You can also work simultaneously on different kinds of project with a group of that you choose, and if you are the "owner" of the group you can decide who can edit the project, and who can't. You can also chat with other people, so if your group needs to do a project together, and you are not able to talk about changes you want to make you can chat and decide what idea would be the best.
There also many different apps that you can choose from, to do your project on. Like the ones I will show you below.

Documents comparable to pages or Microsoft word, but all you can do is type, there is no graphs or shapes that you add to this application.















Presentation is comparable to Keynote or PowerPoint, with almost all the same tools and allows you to chose from different layouts.




Spreadsheet is comparable to Excel.





Form allows you to make and send a form to anyone of your choose, and add or take away as many questions as you want.

Drawing allows you to make pictures with different shapes and colors, almost like pages.

Flash Vortex

Animated Text

In order to put this animated text into blogger, I had to switch the post text from compose to HTML so that the computer knew that it was an animation and not just a bunch of random text. Then I just pasted the HTML code into the page and it was done

Google Tricks


Google Chuck Norris  When you Google "Chuck Norris" Google gives you a Chuck Norris joke instead of sites that relate to your search.

Do a Barrel Roll When you search do a barrel roll the computer actually listens and all of the Google search screen does a barrel roll.






Google Tilt When you search tilt Google actually makes the search screen tilt just little bit to the right of where it should be.

The Most Helpful Apps

Notability is great for taking notes on anything. The app allows you to take notes and then send them to other apps or people. You can type or write your notes, and once your done you can go back and highlight the points needed for the test. Teachers can send you a file that you can open and complete on Notability. At my school the teachers give us assignments on an app called My Big Campus and we open them in notability and complete them. Once the assignments are done we email them back to the teachers off of Notability. This is why I think Notability is one of the most helpful apps out there, that you can buy.

My Big Campus is an app that is great for share with other people. On the app you log in to a home page where you can view any group that you choose. Then you can access the group and see what assignments you have or the members in the group. At my school the teachers use it to give us assignments, tests, or notes. The app is also used to keep everyone in the know about school activities and events. This is why I think My Big Campus is another one of the most helpful apps out there, that you can buy.

Pages is an app that is great for creating projects and papers. The app allows you to doing just about everything the desktop version allows you to do. You can choose from a number of different layouts for the page. Then you can add pictures from your camera and photo library. There is also shapes, tables, and charts to your page. The app also makes it very easy to email the project or paper to someone when your done. This is why I think My Big Campus is another one of the most helpful apps out there, that you can buy.

Penultimate is another great app for taking notes on anything. The app allows you to take notes or just sketch on your choose of three different types of paper that are photo realistic pages. You can take notes for class and draw examples of the key points in your notes. Also you store you notes in on topic, project or category, which can help you keep organized for class. Penultimate lets you take anywhere from one page to a whole notebook and send it to anyone, or save and backup files with Dropbox integrated into it. This is why I think Pages is another one of the most helpful apps out there, that you can buy.

Dropbox is an app that is great for backup, or just sharing photos, docs, and videos. The app allows you take all of your photos and share them with the world. Then at the same time it acts as a backup for all of them, and lets you see everything you saved on any device of yours. This is why I think Dropbox is another one of the most helpful apps out there, that you can buy.

Web Tool 2

The second web tool that I found and like is Prezi. Prezi is lets you take your ideas you get just setting around and presentations, like that. You can also collaborate with up to 10 people on the same project. I think this web tool would be great for everything from a small contractor to brainstorm to the biggest engineering companies to come up with blueprints for their next job.

With Prezi you can start your project at work, and then store it in the cloud. Then you can work offline at home with Prezi Desktop and keep working on your project. This is why I think Prezi is one of the best web tools out there.

Web Tool 1

I think the Poll Everywhere is one of the best web tools out there, because it tells you just plainly and simple what you want to know.  You also don't have to wait for hours to get your results they come back to you instantly so a teacher could make a poll in the middle of class and not have to worry about not get the results bak before the end of class.

This web tool lets you take a poll of anything from animals, to cars. The site lets you see instantly what the world thinks, good or bad. The site uses the new age of texting, the web, and or things like Twitter to get the answers to your poll instantly.

App vs. web

On the Internet blogger has gadgets and links to other blogs. The Internet is also just easier to use than the app, as it has more space to work with. For view and managing blog post I think the app might be easier to use with it portability and simple set up. For anything other than just managing post I think I would prefer to use the Internet version of blogger. On the Internet you can also get on google and look up information on why you writing on your post. The choose is up to you, but I'd go with the Internet.

Blog Guidelines


Blog Guidelines

  • Never offer any personal information including your last name, contact information, home address, phone numbers, school's name, e-mail address, last names of friends or relatives, instant messaging names, age, or birth date.
  • Never post provocative pictures of yourself or anyone else, and be sure any images you provide do not reveal any of the previously mentioned information. Always remember to look at the background of a picture too.
  •  Assume what you publish on the Web is permanent. Anyone on the Internet can easily print out a blog or save it to a computer.
  • Use blogging provider sites with clearly stated terms of use, and make sure they can protect the actual blogs, not just the user accounts, with password protection. (Even so, it's better to assume anyone can see it.)
  • Avoid trying to "outdo" or compete with other bloggers.
  • Keep blogs positive and don't use them for slander or to attack others.
  • Everything that goes on your blog should be true, and if possible work site everything that could possibly questioned.
  • If you post something that is just your opinion and not a written fact, state that before or after the post.
  • Before you post a picture or a comment about someone make sure that you tell them you are doing so, and if they say no just leave it out of your blog.
  • Be careful not to bye something from an add on your screen or a pop up, as many of them are scams.
