Animoto

Animoto is a neat website that allows you to create videos of whatever you choose.  To use Animoto first you must sign up and then it gives you multiple different options of the theme of your video.  Once you choose your theme you can start adding photos and captions to the photos.  Because I didn't have a membership to this website, my video was only thirty seconds but if you do have a membership you can make videos as long as you want.  The membership only costs five dollars a month.  I enjoyed making videos from Animoto because it was quick, easy, and I liked personalizing my photos and putting them in a short clip.

Go2Web20

Go2Web20 is a website with lots of fun online tools and applications.  It is very organized and specific so if you are looking for a certain application they are all categorized on the side tab like photos, music, and travel.  The two tools I explored were Vine and PictureTrail.  Vine is a type of social media site that allows you to share short video clips of whatever you choose.  On Vine you have followers and you can follow people back.  Also, if you view a video that you, enjoyed you can "like" the clip!  On PictureTrail offers several services that enables you to express yourself.  You can share photos, make cool photo slideshows, and it allows you to host personal home pages which helps you build your own social networking community on the website!  I enjoyed exploring all the tools and applications on Go2Web20 and I appreciated how organized the website was.

FireFox Extension

The FireFox browser also has a tab called Extension that allows users to put add on's onto their website that adds cool features to it.  The purpose of an add on is to make it easier and more efficient to get from place to place on a website. One of my favorite parts about Extension is the Games and Entertainment because it allows you to pick a few games from their selection and then you can play them.  I downloaded Frogger and a chess game.  Another part I liked about Extension was the Appearance part because the add on's will allow you to change font size, color and theme.  I also added a clock that is super useful from Appearance.  I enjoyed using Extension because it taught me how to put add on's on websites and how to find the add on.

FireFox Personas

FireFox offers a neat design to their browser called Personas.  It allows you to personalize the browser by adding your choice of design to the top part of the website.  The choices are endless when it comes to design, you can search any animal or topic of your choice and they have a design for it.  Also, there is holiday and TV show character choices.  All you do is visit the link above, choose a design of your choice, and click add and it does it for you!  I liked it because it allows me to add my own personal touch to my website!

Teach Web

Teach Web is a website that has several different web tools on it.  My favorite one that we explored was called Art Pad.  I liked Art Pad because you can start from scratch and create whatever you want.  It begins with a blank sheet of paper and on the side you can pick from several different colors and sizes of paint brushes that you want.  There is also a tool called opacity which makes the color that you choose lighter or darker!  Another feature I liked was the frame tab, which allows you to pick out any type of frame you want on your art.  It also allows you to actually re-watch yourself painting the picture which was very neat.  I enjoyed using Art Pad because I created a picture that was unique and my own!

FotoFlexer

I used FotoFlexer to create some fun pictures!  First, I went to FotoFlexer and uploaded a photo from my computer.  Then, it pulls up your picture and at the top it has different tabs that you click on to edit the photo.  You can fix red eye, crop your photo, and fix blemishes.  There is also other tabs that allow you to add various effects to the photo and you can also distort the image.  You can also add stickers, text and animations to spice up your picture.  I liked FotoFlexer because it was user friendly and I had fun learning all the tools that came along with it.

PiZap

The second photo editing website I visited was called PiZap.  I liked working with PiZap because of the hilarious photos I created.  When I went to PiZap the first thing I clicked was the icon called "edit photo".  From there it gives you the choice of where you want to upload the picture you want edited.  After you pick out the photo it gives you various different ways to edit it.  My favorite feature to this website was adding the funny faces to it.  You can paste funny eyes, mouth, hair, hats, and teeth on your photo with just a click of a button!  There are many other options it gives you like changing the tint of the background or adding shapes and stickers to the picture.  PiZap is user friendly and helps you create cool pictures!

Bloggif

Mounting created BloggifMounting created Bloggif   Bloggif is a free photo editing website where you can create photo collages, animate text, and apply cool effects to photos!  This website  give you tons of effects you can put on any photo of your choice like slideshows, glitter, and GIF effects.  On my top photo I used the Glitter Frame and I chose a heart to frame the picture.  On my second photo I decided to use the GIF effect called zoom.  The GIF effects are fun because the picture actually moves and it adds interest to the photo.  On the last picture I used SplashColor which actually makes the entire photo black and white and then you can go back and add color to certain spots to make the picture pop.  I liked Bloggif because of the GIF effects which were very easy to use and make the picture fun to look at!
