Favicon

This is the favicon, or that picture to the left of my blog name, that I built. It is animated to say A. H. S. which stands for my high school. It rotates every five seconds to a new letter continuously. Computer Essential is Awesome is the name of my blog.

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.

I had a Digital Clock gadget on my blog, but you couldn't see the time without going to another link to see it, so I took it off my blog.
