Edmodo has free online tools for the education community (students, teachers, professors, etc.). It is an education tool for teachers to use in the classroom. There is also a blogging tool. It is not very far as a website but its getting there.

Final Project, Part 1 (schoopy)

Schoopy is safe education networking for k-12. You can send messages to other students and get answers to your questions. It provides a calendar to plan your events and make sure you are reminded of certain dates. Teachers can post assignments and quizzes so you can gain access to them. There are pictures/images that you can look through to help you with your homework. You can also upload files and share them with your friends and teachers.

Final Project, Part 1 (edu 2.0)

Edu 2.0 is like a myspace for teachers. It is a place for teachers to communicate with students and other teachers. The teachers can share their methods and tools with each other. If you are a teacher you can register them as a class and give them assignments and class work. Edu 2.0 is sort of confusing to navigate through but its a very good tool for teachers and students.

Final Project, Part 1 (yacapaca)

Yacapaca is a teaching tool that helps teachers plan and organize their class. You can enter every student in the class and assign them quizzes ans tests over the internet. When the student is done with the test the score is submitted to the teacher. It is very easy to use and there is directions along the way to help.

Frontline Questions

1. I have a myspace but I don’t go on it like at all, not even daily.

2. My parents don’t have a myspace and i have showed them my page.

3. Friends-its a sick place where you can talk to your friends. Parents-a place where I talk with my friends kinda like an email. Grandparents-a place where I talk to my friends over the internet.

4. Myspace doesn’t change the way I provide info about myself. Myspace deems your name to be important. Communication is framed as all over the internet but by your pictures its more like you are actually talking. By meeting in person you mights see a persons real emotions and talk more in depth.

Google Maps Mash-up

I went to streetartlocator.com. It shows art in public from all over the world. All you have to do is click on a bookmark thing and is brings up a picture of the art. The bookmark is on the map according to where the art is located. To upload a picture all you have to do is register your email and click a button. It is really simple and easy to use.

Mash Up #1

Ask500people.com is a mash up because it is constantly being changed or altered. It also is because people from all over can add to something.

Online Photo Editing

I used Picnik, Photoshop Express, and Splashup. Their ranking was Photoshop Express (P.E.), Splashup, then Picnik. P.E. was the best because it wasn’t slow and it had useful tools. Splashup was second because it was really frustrating to use. Picnik was last because it was too slow and the tools didn’t work.

Blog Post

Company Being Discussed

Sarah Perez wrote a post on the nature of involvement with social media. It was very good and accurate. A lot has been said for the relationship between the involvement with social media and the amount of money you could potentially make. One must pick and choose which tools to use to actually get things done instead of just using it to socialize. People that are avid and experienced users of social media tools know what kind of a time-sink they can be. Andre Nantel currently conducting a test on Twitter wanted to see the number of things, but mostly how carefully folks selected which of their followers they’d follow back. He found that around 6,000 Twitter feeds with the account @RU4Real, starting with those listed on Twitterholics, and then the list of folks following those listed on Twitterholics.He found that Around 134 of the original people decided to follow him back. There was also 66 people who first followed him but left upon reading the description. The guy is also going to do his experiment again and close the account when he is done. This is important to technology  because social networking is becoming part of many peoples daily life.
