The world of web 2.0!

Here is a video from eduplogs tv.

This is avideo from Google video on Barak obama

Today I embeded a video from google.

Today we practiced embedding again in class. What you see below is a voice thread from voice thread.com. Someone else made this but they are sharing it with us.

I choose this one because it is funny.

Step 1- you must first type in all the text for your post.

Step 2- spell check it. Then push publish.

Step 3-go check to make sure your text is on the post. go to visit cite. If it looks good go back to the post and edit it.

Step 4- now copy the vuvox.com code and you will insert the code into the HTML view.

Step 5- click save.

Below you find a slide show that shows you about war.

I just saw a video about talking about the concept of the world being flat. We know it is not really flat, what it means is that people on the other side of the world can have jobs that we can have because of outsourcing. Outsourcing is when some one else can have your job and they don’t live in the same state. The big message was that America is kind of going down hill and it may be harder to get jobs. See the video at http://www.teachertube.com.

One significant thing is that in china they have more honor students than we have students. This is significant because that means that they are probably getting more education.

This video made me see things in a new way. You should pick a job that is not easy to out source. Things like doing research for another person can be easily out sourced. Some else can do the work and charge a lower price.

Karl Fisch made this video. Here is his web cite.http://www.lps.k12.co.us/schools/arapahoe/fisch/fischbowlpresentations.htm. You go take a look if you are interested.

 I visited a a piece of webware called Fotoflexer. This webware allows you to decorate and fix pictures you took, and online images. I have included at the bottom some samples of pictures I fixed up that I found on google. Fotoflexer is similar to Picnik.com but it has some differnt features to offer. you can get rid of red eye, you can touch up, you can paint, you can doodle and more!

This impressed me because I have the option to change the look of cloths,hair and more if I dont like the way it looks. It is fun to play around and color images using paint. It also impressed me because you can adjust the brightness and darkness of the picture.

This a picture I found. This is what it looked like before I colored it.Here is how it  looked after I painted it a couple of different ways.

They could make Fotoflexer better if they  let you save under where you want to save. My experiance was that it saved it under my fotos. This made things hard and confusing. I found them but, then it was hard to upload. They could improve that.

At news.cnet.com I found a review that tells about it’s good side and bad side. The review says that even in full screen mode your picture remains the same size. So watch out for that.

 My impression is that  while Fotoflexer has good sides it also has bad annoying sides.  I recommend that if your not impressed check out Picnik.com. I’m not saying I dislike it but it could be better. Pictures, paint and decorating.

Welcome to my site! Feel free to look around. This site will talk about the changes between web 1.0 and 2.0.

Web 1.0 started in 1994 and ended around 2004. We couldnt do very much then.

Web 2.0 is an upgrade  from web 1.0. New webware  allows us to share and talk to others who are not even near  us.  Kind of like a phone but different in ways.
