Stat Planet

Stat Planet is a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to view different statistics on different countries around the world. There are a variety of topics to choose from, and there is a lot of data for each topic. The site is easy to use, but hard top navigate to. I could possibly use this for other classes.

Bomomo

Bomomo is a Web 2.0 tool, which is basically for you if you have time you need to waste. This tool accomplishes nothing but make you laugh, waste your time, and make abstract art. I will not use this tool for academic purposes, but who knows, if I'm ever bored in a class, this may be the place to go.

Piktochart

Piktochart is a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to make an info-graphic that looks professional. Piktochart is east yo use, and free, but you get more options if you pay for them. I personally do not like this tool because I have had to make info-graphics before and I do not enjoy it at all.

What I learned this Year.

The one thing I'm glad I learned in this class is Quizlet. Quizlet is the one tool that actually helps me out with school. Most of the tools we have used this year I never see myself using in the future, and have never been a situation where any of those tools have been useful. The only tool that I may actually use is Photo Shop, but using it in class made me realize how much I dislike editing pictures, and how hard it was to do. Photo Shop takes a lot of practice to learn to use. I do not have anything in particular i hope to learn before the year is over, because I have no idea what we will be doing the rest of this year.

Comic Strip

Pixton is a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to make a comic strip quickly and easily. My main complaints are that the cite requires somebody over 19 years old to confirm you email address in order for you to be able to save and/or publish your comics. I will probably never use this cite because it doesn't produce the best work ever.

Voki

Voki is a web 2.0 tool that allows you to make an avatar that can look a variety of ways. You can record your voice and make it say anything, or you can just type words for him to say. It is fun to do and takes no time to do. I probably will not use this tool much though.

QR Code

QRStuff is a webiste that allows you to create your own QR code quickly and easily. This literally took me 30 seconds to make. Anybody can do it if they want to. I don't know how much I will actually use this in my day to day life though. This is most useful for businesses or special events to use.
