Last emergent technology

This website called Smilebox gives you different templates to make cards to send to other people or scrapbook pages. You can add pictures to be able to use on the template and also you can type out your own message on areas provided. The site gives you a way to post it on many different web pages, print it, or send it via e-mail. The website was very easy to use and very self explanitory. If you wanted to spend a little money you could add your own music and do a lot more with it. I think for simple little projects its a very good tool. Basically just play with all the tools on the toolbar and try out different templates.

Immergent Technology 2

I used GoAnimate for this technology trial. It is a certain tool that allows you to make little movies with characters and scenes with sounds. If you wanted to make a visual learning tool, a fun little clip, a slide show, or anything else you could bring yourself to do this is a great tool to use. The program was fairly simple to use minus the fact that you had to trial and error different buttons and their purposes. Plus I had a hard time trying to get music of my own to put on the program. I made a little animation peice that I will try to post on here...it is a bit morbid but I just wanted to try something quick and easy, I posted one of my own pictures and the background and wrote out the dialog. So here goes,

If you are going to try this site, try to use one of your own photos it makes the scene more personalized to you. Also you have to drag the sound onto the scene that you want it although most of the songs drag through more than one clip. The last thing you can flip the people with the two arrow buttons when you click on the people but you cannot flilp the word boxes so don't even try.
