photosharing

So i actually presented to the class on photo sharing and i used photo bucket to do so. It was fun to be able to adjust my picture on a separate website and be able to upload on there that way i didn't take up space on my personal hard drive. Not only that but being able to adjust the size and just modify pictures is so nice. But that's not it. You are able to upload different quotes, mp3 files, icons that you can copy and paste the html onto for pretty pictures... it was just way cool!

Bookmarking&wikis

so i have been really trying to figure out a way to be able to do the bookmarking, just click on the little star in your tab thing where you would find the url and...that is how you bookmark. neat-o!
and then with the help of wikipedia find ways to look at recipes and add on it, find lessons and use em, and even put up your own things so that people can collaborate with your ideas. I find that pretty awesome because you have endless opportunities for new ideas. I mean come on it is the WORLD WIDE web. How blessed are we to have the ability to communicate with so many different places and people and wow!...its just amazing!

sweet sweet success!

Okay... so i think i am finally getting this whole wix thing, so dont even worry guys! although i will say my one and only complaint is this too large thing, it will not allow me to upload my ppt for my digital scavenger hunt because apparently the file is too large :/ it is oober frustrating. But other than that my e portfolio is complete :) Umm.. i still have a few more things to work on but almost done! So firstly i must admit i am a bit confused on bookmarking. I know how to add things to my favorites and bookmark links or what not, which is why i have the links i go to most on my home page, so what else am i supposed to know how to do. As for my wikis i created an account and put up a post but i didnt know what else to do.lol i will say although these were maybe some of the simplest assignments they gave me the most difficulty.

2 days left...

man oh man.... trying to switch from wordpress to wix has been pretty interesting to say the least...blah! wix has sooooo many more neat features as to try and fancy it up but the wordpress i almost had done i couldn't rearrange the format of the pages...so they were in the wrong order and that way to stay there. ah! its not even like i dont have all of the work. i just suck at putting it all together. well here we go. not too much left, after 4 and a 1/2 weeks i think i can finish strong!!

presentation.

i have been so excited to come to this class these past few days, i feel like i have finally been improving with my technological knowledge but then this e-portfolio has been kind of a test for me. Being able to use all of these different ideas and coming up with a piece of work that will show off my abilities..lol or the lack thereoff.... well off to work on it, hopefully this comes together. i dont know how to move pages if they are in the wrong spot :*(

hump day.

so... today i had to do my photo sharing presentation and although i wasnt all that sure that i could teach any of you something i felt okay about the overall thing.lol thank goodness it wasnt like anything i wasnt already a tad bit familiar with. ha! umm... lets see so i just need to keep working on my e-portfolio and man, we are almost done. woo hoo!! okay, so pretty much i hate my wikis, i much rather be on here and talkin about that stuff here. ughh!! And then i was lookin back and never got the chance to do my first intel. it kinda bummed me out. but then again, if that's one of my only regrets, then so be it.lol And i really dont know how i feel about podcasting like cathy was talking about today in class. :/

here is my cool podcast...see if you can recognize the clip.lol

so i have been trying forever to figure out what it is i am doing wrong, but i keep screwing this up. so this is the link to the podcast i liked. and then i went ahead and added a podcasting gadget on the right hand side of my blog, its the CNN thing.
Another fun thing i went ahead and added today was the youtube search screen that way i could find how to's on alot of different things, such as wikis or podcasting.lol its great stuff guys!!
