I don't know..

My final for Computer Essentials!!! :)

My Practice Project

Google Voice

Google voice lets you hook up multiple lines to a single phone. so if you're out of the building, but expecting a call, and you don't know which phone they will call, then just give them your google phone number, get it setup, and then just sit back and wait. Even if the person calls your house phone, and you've got it setup, then it will call your house phone, but also any other phone you have synced with it. The symbol for the google voice feature is a phone.

Google Calender

Hey guys! Well, today we explored google calenders, and this let's you create calender events, and share them with your friends. So just in case you forget to fill your sister in on when your mom is getting a hairdo, then you just have to sign into your google account, click calender on the top tabs, then type whatever you want on that date. Then just send them an invite!

Google Hangouts

Google hangouts is a great way to talk to people, seeing them face to face, without actually being there. It lets you talk to people who are hundreds of miles away, like a girlfriend in Paris, while you're in the U.S. This feature lets you chat with up to 9 people.This feature is on google, in case you didn't have that already figured out. In your gmail.

This is where it would be if it was working. Click, Try Now, and when it works, you should see a video camera. Click that, and if you have contacts, then you'll be able to start chatting up a storm with that special someone! :)

ToonDoo Book

This is my book, made in ToonDoo:

As you can see, it has my TraitR as a "profile" picture.

ToonDoo Character

This is my character on ToonDoo, known as a TraitR:

ToonDoo

Toondoo is a comic book generator. It lets you create a comic book and publish it so the whole world can laugh, right along with you! Here's a picture of the homepage, after you get signed up and everything:

My username is xxxdinosaur. Go ahead and try to find me :)

Flag Counter Stats

Hey! Well, last week we were supposed to add a little flag counter that let's everyone know what country and state people viewed my blog. The downside to this is that it takes 48 hours to get complete results; i added this only today, so my results won't be the best.
This counter displays the country's flag that visited your blog only once, so you will not have thousands of flags from a country. You will only have that one flag from a specific country.

If you want to add this flag counter, then go ahead and visit here.

Bouquet of Flowers

Today in class, we had a BLAST doing random stuff! We were able to learn how to send virtual flowers to our class and other people. There isn't many options about how to change the look of the bouquet but it's still a lot of fun. I made three bouquets and I've already sent them. I can't WAIT to see the reactions! If you want to create some magic for your boyfriend or girlfriend, then click here. Here's some flowers i created, the second pic is what i got from Zach Sheppard:

Word Clouds

Today, we discovered these sites that let you create what are known as word clouds. They let you enter a lot of random words and arrange the words into a jumbled mess or a picture. the more times they appear, the larger they are. I made three word clouds. My first picture came from Wordle. My second picture i got is from Tagxedo. My third picture isn't exactly a word cloud, but it's from Textorizer.

                                          This is from Katy Perry's Firwork

                                          These words are from my blog

                                          This picture is from a previous assignment. Instead of a normal picture, It has lines.

More Photo Editing

Well, today we got to do some more photo editing. I used the website PhotoFunia. It's a free website where you can edit the pictures. The site is both free and very easy to use. I would click here to try it out for yourself!!
Here's what i created, but there are a lot better things you could find. These are just the two things that I chose:

Photo Editing

Hey guys, today I'll talk about my photo editing experience with you. Today, we went on several websites, looking at the photo editing ones. The one I like is called piZap. It lets you upload an image and add several things, like different hair, eyes, and background decorations. If you'd rather experience the magic of this yourself, then click here to go to the piZap page. Here's my piZap picture: guess who it is!!

Teacher tools

Hey, I've found some more awesome tools for you. The two i looked at was both for teachers but students can also use these tools. Some of these let you Learn about different things, but in game fashion. Like, you could learn math problems, but in Jeopardy fashion. You can also learn some real facts with the random fact desk.
Another site i explored was where you could actually create a fake facebook account! It helps in the classroom because it maps out the relationships of different characters, like in Othelo. Michael Casio has some really confusing ties. Or in Romeo and Juliet. You could see all the ties to every character in any story with the facebook profile.

The two websites I'm talking about are Super Teacher Tools and Class Tools.
The things that I found really cool on these two websites were the fake facebook profile and the random fact desk. On the Super Teacher Tools website I found the random name generator and the seating chart. The random name generator picks a random name from a list that you've already typed. The seating chart picks where you sit everyone in your list.

Well, that's it for now guys. See ya next time!

My stykz animation

Hey guys! I'm going to tell you more about this later, but right now i wanted to show you guys what I created. It's a little animation using stick figures. Here's my animation:

I hope you like it!!!

Clay Avatar

Hey guys, it's me again! Well, today I learned how to make myself look like clay! Well, not really myself, but you guys get the gist of it. It's a really cool website called Claymation. You get to make avatars out of clay. Here's a picture of it:

That does NOT look anything like me, but i like it xD.

Subjects of the School... And random words... >:)

subjects of school hangman game » create hangman   
This is a game I created using this website. It has the subjects in it, but be warned! There are random words mixed in! There is 8 levels! The 7th has the biggest word.

Google Stuff

Hey guys! It's me again! xD Well, i've got some stuff to tell you guys about some stuff we learned about Google i class. Well, we learned about Google offers. What that's about is where you can buy stuff on sale.

Another google product is the Google Earth. It lets you travel anywhere in the world, using actual pictures! The bad thing about this is that Google needs to update the program. It's almost 3 years old. A lot happens in three years...

 

This is a picture on Google Earth in Atwood. This is currently Mojo Espresso, a new coffee shop that just opened one and a half years ago.

 Well, That's it for now. See ya later! :)

Google Jobs

Hey guys! 'tis me again. :) I'm gonna tell you about some google jobs they have to offer and the requirements.
One job that I'd be interested in is the Associate Facilities Technician. They perform preventive and corrective maintenance tasks, assist with system replacement and commissioning, monitor critical data center equipment, and they also report technical issues to supervisors. The requirements for this job is to have an associate’s degree, trade school certification, or two years experience in a relevant technical field, and the ability to work shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays. The location of this job is in Council Bluffs, IA.
Sorry for this short post. I'll try and do better next time!
See you guys next time!
P.S. I'm going to be gone until March 6th, so try and have fun without me!
ADIOS! :)

Google Drive

Google Drive, a.k.a. google docs, is an excellent way to make documents with other people. Instead of you having to save the document and then waiting for your partner to edit it, they can make changes, right on the page! No more waiting. It does lag though, so be patient. But another amazing thing about this is that you can download this on your iPad, so you can work on it anywhere. You can't upload pictures on the iPad, or get all of the documents, but it works anywhere, so you don't have to work on it at school.
Well, that's all for now, so hasta luego! :}

Animated text

Hey guys! I wanted to update you on what I learned in class today!
We visited two sites today: Flashvotex and Glowtext.
Flashvotext is an animated text generator! It obviously animates your text!

Glowtext is another text generator that i personally like better. It looks better to me.

Well, this is a very busying class, but that's all I have for now so hasta luego amigos! :) Que tengas un buen dia!

Google Fun

Hey, guys and gals! There's some stuff you can do with google that's actually fun! I'll tell you about a few.
One of the cool gadgets is that you can change the google logo into something else:

Another funny one is when searching for Chuck Norris on google:

Yet another fun trick you can do with google is to type in: "Do a barrel roll" in the search bar.
well, i've got nothing else, so adios for now! :]

Firefox add-ons

Hi there! It's me again, just telling you the new stuff I've got planned for you! I've got add-ons to deliver to you! :) What they are are special things for your convienence and pleasure. I've got some add-ons that are games, but most of them are very useful, at wasting your time, mostly when you're bored ^_^. the first one I've got lined up for you is the awesome facts add-on. Everytime you open up a new tab, it displays a random fact:

 

The second one I've got is the graphing calculator. It lets you input up to 5 different equations and also graphs them:

 

The third add-on I've been able to find is the facebook messenger. It let's you talk to your friends on facebook, but without leaving the window. It show to the right of your current window.

The next one I found is the photoshop tool. It lets you photoshop pics from the internet. We are using photoshop in Photo Imaging to mess with different picture we take around the school.

Another one i've had the honor of finding is the Start Free Games add-on. It let's you play a lot of the older games that you grew up as a child. I was jumping up and down with joy when I found this one:

 

Another add-on I found was the google translator. It lets you translate different languages into others:

The last add-on I found was the most boring one, but I like it. It is called Nyan Cat. It counts the seconds you've been on the page:

Hope you guys find this useful! There's a lot of other add-ons that i didn't include, so make sure you try them out! Have a wonderful day! :]

 

 

Backgrounds

Hey, do you get bored with the same old same old with the background? Well, now you can change your background! :) All you have to do is go to the website of your choice, i chose The Cutest Blog On The Block, then you get to pick your favorite! i picked a halloween-themed background because my favorite holiday is in the month i was born in, October.
This is my blog background:

 

Hopefully you have a wonderful day! :)

Personas for Firefox

Hey there! Just an update: I can now add personas! :) What is a persona? It's just a fun way to personalize Firefox. What is firefox? Firefox is just another browser, but is the only browser that can support this on apple devices.
My persona is called Ice_Lady_in_Red:

If you sign up for this you can save your persona, so if you want this one and "wear" it, but want a different one, you can keep this one and still use the different one.

If you're wanting to go to this website, then click here!

Blogging on the IPad

This post is from my iPad. I downloaded the Blogger App. This app lets me log into my blogger account from my iPad, so I can keep everyone updated at home now too! This app is very user friendly, if you can navigate on the iPad fairly easily, and the web version is very user friendly, it's just slightly annoying when everything opens in a new window. Personally though, I prefer the web version over the app, only because I'm more familiar with the web version. But I hope that changes. :)

Symbaloo

Hi guys! This post will tell you about the amazing symbaloo website. This website is a social bookmarking website that uses icons to go to the site of your choosing. For example, if you have an icon of my favorite gaming website, Runescape, and you click the icon, it will redirect your browser to Runescape. The benefits of using this site is that you can use this anywhere you have internet.
If you want to join in the fun, then click this!

Blogger Gadgets

This post will be about the gadgets I have, which are located at the bottom of this page. I found a school success tip gadget, for all you adults out there that has kids. It allows you to see some tips which should help your child excel at school. Next, i found a stress relief gadget, which describes how to beat that ever-depressing stress! I also could find a gadget for those of the world who have seen and loved the Harry Potter series. It describes the quidditch rules and a little info about the game. Then i found a humor quotes gadget which allows you to view some humorous jokes, just to brighten up your work day. Lastly, I found another gadget about the Harry Potter movies and books. This tells about the many spells used throughout the books and the movies and it also tells what the spell does. I hope that you'll find some or all of my gadgets useful. Good luck! :)
