Book Trailer

Here's a school project I did for an interesting book.

Final Post Topic 10: Online Sharing

     As part of my last Teen Learning 2.0 activity I was required to choose a website program report on it and it's usefulness. I chose Diigo, a website that allows you to create a personalized list of websites that you have bookmarked and can be used in case you need to get to a site whose URL you've forgotten. You can also share your list of bookmarks with others, as well as see bookmarks others have made. Be warned though some of the sites listed by others may link to web sites that aren't safe for work, could potentially damage your computer, or discuss political idea's that you don't agree with.


      Teen Learning 2.0 has been very informative and i'm glad I had the chance to expand my knowledge on a variety of different topics. Although a lot of the things I learned while using Teen Learning 2.0 have been useful, I can definitely see myself using Powtoons and what I learned about Creative Commons Licenses on Topic 4, and Digital Citizenship on Topic 1 long after I've forgotten about this blog. My only suggestion would be to add a lesson on computer safety and learning how to avoid malware and computer viruses

Topic 9: Evaluating Information Web Sites & Citing Sources

(sorry in advance for the clutter!)

4. Please review your TRAILS test results.  In your Topic 9 blog post, please copy and past the questions you missed, your initial answer and then explain what the correct answer should be.  If you get 100% on the TRAILS test please design an additional evaluation question and answer that could be added to the test. Post that question and answer in your blog as your Topic 9 post.

Notice!

For whatever reason whenever I try to post a comment onto someone's blog from my home computer I get logged out of my account and my comment isn't posted. I'm going to try to focus on commenting on your blogs at school from now on, but if I go a week without commenting, like this week, it's because I'm not managing my time at school properly and my home computer is acting weird.

Topic 8: Books and Reading

I created my digital book shelf with Shelfari, a free and easy to use web site that lets you compile a list of all the books you've read and share them with others. The hardest part about making your shelfari shelf is actually embedding it into your blog, but everything else is pretty easy to do. I chose this site over the other options that were listed because I recognized that Shelfari is affiliated with amazon.com and that means that I can probably trust my personal information with them more than I can with the other options (not that there's anything wrong with the other ones though!) Hopefully I'll remember shelfari years from now so I can remember all the books I read as a kid.

Topic 7: Documents and Presentations

1. Google Driver is a helpful program that you can use when you are unable to use Microsoft word but need to write a paper. The link provided above is a timeline of events that happened in my book Memoirs of a Child Soldier by Ishmael Beah.
2. A web2.0 tool I used for this assignment was called Webydo. Webydo allows you to create a professional looking website without knowing how to code it. Here's a link to the website I made.
3. And here is a Glog that I made.

Topic 6: Creating Animations & Videos

Blog Posting:

• Embed or link the animation/video onto your blog so that I and your fellow library assistants can review it.
• Discuss why you chose the tool, how difficult or easy it was to use. Give 2 tips for new users. Finally let us know how you might use it for one of your PHS classes.
