Final
In Computer Essentials we learned how to create avatars, websites, presentations, and edited photos. I enjoyed this class because it introduced me to new web tools I didn't know about and it also taught me the basics about computers like how to link websites and create a blog. It was a relaxing class where we were allowed to explore the various different sites and web applications the internet has to offer!

Jib Jab
Jib Jab is a website that allows you to create fun, short video clips. When you visit Jib Jab there is a library of different goofy videos that you can edit your face into. In the videos they have people dancing, singing and they have different holiday themes! To edit your face in the photo all you have to do is pick out your favorite picture and crop the photo. If you want you can also add friends and other peers. Jib Jab only allows you to add up to six people on their videos. Once you have finished editing the video, you can preview it and then share or post it to your favorite website! Jib Jab was easy to use and I had a good time creating hilarious videos!

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is a neat web browser that was made by Google. It was easy to download and it allows you to download apps on it, unlike most other web browsers. It offers its own app store with a variety of apps including games, learning tools and buisness tools. My favorite app I downloaded were the Horoscope app.
Horoscope-- On the horoscope app you just pick your symbol according to the month you were born in and it gives you a free reading for the day. To download this app I went to the Google Chrome Webstore and clicked on the Lifestyle tab under Apps. Then, I clicked on astrology and found the free horoscope app and finally I downloaded it by tapping on the free button. Now the app is on my Google Chrome homepage.
I liked using Google Chrome because of the cool apps it had on it and it was time efficent and easy to use.

Story Jumper
Story Jumper is a website I used to create a children's story book
. On Story Jumper it allows you to make up to a sixteen page book of whatever you want! When you are creating your story it allows you to uses their props and scenes and also you can add text. If you have a particular photo you would like to use, you can simply upload it and put it in the story. A feature I liked about this website is it also allows you to print off your book as a hard copy for $25. Also, if you need ideas to get started on a book, the website also offers a huge library of books that other people have created which is very helpful. This website was easy to use and I loved creating my own story than I can share with friends!
