We have talked about Web 2.0 applications and tools. Now I would like you to explore some and think about them critically.
I would like you to take a look at 5 creative Web 2.0 sites and look at them critically.
You may click this link, http://edjudo.com/web-2-0-teaching-tools-links to get to a long list of web 2.0 online tools by category or you can simply google web 2.0 online tools.
After viewing and using them write a review for your favorite and your least favorite web 2.0 application/tool as a user on this blog. I think it will be interesting to see what people think of the sites and their functionality, since each of you will have your own individual needs, likes and dislikes. You may stay in one category or try a variety of them.

The purpose is you make things with your pictures like jigsaw puzzles which i find is cool. It is very user friendly because all of the options are presented clearly
At is somewhat confusing in some options but i would recommend it to a friend because you can do a lot of projects on it for school
What options are confusing? Does it offer a help menu?
DeleteIt doesnt have a help menu but making a calendar which is coolest for me is confusing

ReplyDeletePurpose is to create drawings or you can edit some that you put on thier.
It is easy to use since i used different paint apps before but it might be difficult.I wouldnt recommend it because you have to download it and no one wants to do that.
Is it true that no one would want to download it? Why do you think no one wants to download it? What if it were really interesting to someone?
DeleteDepends if they liked it or not

ReplyDeletePurpose is to make your own comics and toons and you can do whatever you want with your imagination. I like it since you can basically do whatever but i dont like it because you have to make a account to do it. I would recommend this to someone who likes to draw and is very creative.

ReplyDeleteI used "Picnik" ( Now Google+'s Photos Editor)
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the website is to edit photos online for free.
I think the site is easy to navigate & it's tools are simple to use.
A draw back would be you're only able to use the sight in the Chrome browser & with a Gmail account.
I used "Gimp" (www.gimp.org)
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of this website is to be a free alternative to photoshop.
The sights setup nicely and easy to navigate but doesn't really show what the program does differently than online photo editing tools.
A drawback is to use the program, you must first download it to your desktop.
