Web 2.0 and You.

On November 4^th, 2008 Barack Obama was elected the 44^th president of the United States of America. Below you will find his DNC Acceptance Speech. Last night history was made, so I wish you luck Obama. May America stand strong for all time.

Today we are learning how to embed google video in our blog below you will see a video by Scott allsop. It is his take on a well known song by Billie joel’s song called “We did not start the fire”. The videos events are in chronological order. This drives the message of the song home practice

Blow is an example of a voice thread embed. Some one else has made it, but has allowed us share and embed it in our blog.

I chose this movie/slide from Vuvox.com because I thought it was really funny and I thought you would enjoy it.

When I embed things into Edublogs, it is very important that I type all my text first into the post. I should really spell check and proof it good before inserting my movie/slide show. Next, hit “publish”. No, we’re not done. But this is important. The following slideshow is from vuvox.com 

Animoto.com is a nice piece  of webware that I have found quite fun to work with. It allows us to make movies online that’s fast and easy to do and is also lots of fun. All you have to do is sign up which is totally free and upload the pictures that you want to put in your movie chose a song (or upload your own) add it, give it a name, a description and if you want give it a thumbnail picture from your video and your done. While working with Animoto.com I have found a lot of things that impress me, but the thing that stands out the most is that you can upload your own song instead of using their songs like you have to with other sites. An example of this would be onetruemedia.com.

Here  is something I made with Animoto.com,  if you want check it out

To make this movie I went to google.com imagesand  searched for pictures of Gaara from the anime Naruto, saved the ones I wanted to a file and from there uploaded them to Animoto.com, chose the music and Animoto did the rest

Animoto.com is a grate web site that has bin up and running for a long time now and has had many reviews about it which I find really nice if you get a chance chek some out to get more info on Animoto and thank you for taking the time to read this post and visting my blog

    Picnik.com is like Photoshop in a lot of ways, but at the same time it’s different. Instead of having to hunt down the item you need with Photoshop, picnik gives you a list of items for that specific portion for example: if you were trying to add color to one part while having the rest black & white it gives you that as well as a list of other things you can do like blur all but certain parts of your picture. If you like check it out it’s a very nice piece of web-ware picnik.com. In my personal opinion I would say the best or at least what impressed me would be the different themes that it offers examples of this would be: black & white, specific color placing, specific blur placing, etc. Picnik is a good piece of web-ware but it is not without its bugs. The only problem I have found would be that it doesn’t always save your work either it’s the name, how you save it, or the picture it self, if it’s not done the right way it can’t save it and all that work you did is meaningless, but if they can get that fixed it would be a nicer piece of web-war. Some photo editors like this cost meager bucks like ToonBoom Studio 4.5 which cost $139.95, Acrobat 9 Professional which cost $149.95, or Photoshop CS3 Extended which cost $297.99, but picnik.com if completely free unless you want to get extra Features which will cost a little money. Of cores every one has their own opinion of things so here’s anther insight to picnik.com http://blog.picnik.com/2008/02/picnik-evolves/.

This is one of the pictures I edited with picnik.com. In the picture I cleaned up the color a bit and added some things that add to the picture such as the bird, I added a copy right logo so I can show the work is mine and added a flame at the bottom for fun here is what it looked like be for I took it to picnik.com.

 

 

 

 

Overall picnik.com is a grate site to go to edit photos it’s free unless you want to add different things, but I give it a thumbs up and I highly recommend this site.
