Primary Games

Hey guys! Today we had a relaxing day in class.  We explored this game website called Primary Games.  This is very similar to Addicting Games or CoolMath4Kids.  I liked this website very much.  I found it fun to find the games to play when I was younger.  Like Pac Man, Crazy Taxi, and Parking Mania.  If any of the games below interest you, you can click on my link and visit the website.  It's a LOT of fun!

Toondoo!

Hey Guys!! This is just a taste of a new website we explored called Toondoo.  I will post more on Friday!

Visitors to My Blog

Last class, we put a new gadget on our blog called Flag Counter.  This let's you see how many visitors come to your blog, and where they come from. I have only had one visitor on my flag counter.  I find this a very handy tool because I like seeing my audience.  When you click on the counter it takes you to a separate page that shows you the details about the visitors that viewed your blog. 

The picture above shows my audience.  The only thing I don't like about flag counter is it doesn't show your previous visitors, so it's not as current.  Get  this gadget!!

Word Clouds

Hey Guys! Last class we learned about the word clouds! I liked making these a lot. I explored three websites, wordle, tagul, and textorizer.  My favorite website was textorizer!  This website let's you create a word cloud that goes on top of a photo.  Word clouds are fun to make and are great to include in a project! Go check it out!

Photo Editing

Hey Guys! In class, we did one of my favorite things... Photo Editing! I was so excited to edit photos, I edited tons!!  I edited photo's on two sites, pixlr and picMonkey.  Out of those two, my favorite was pixlr. 

Pixlr
Pixlr is great for editing photo's that you want to look professional.  When you first arrive to the website, it gives you 3 choices for the style of editing you want to do.  This website offers a LOT of different filters, overlays, and borders. 

• Pixlr Editing (Advanced) This is for the people who know there way around the editing booth.  This let's you change your lighting, the contrast of the photo, and much more.
• Pixlr Exress (Efficient) This let's you edit certain things like teeth whitening and air brush without there being a premium price to it.

• Pixlr-O-Matic (Playful) This type of editing is a more fun and playful type.  This let's you choose different filters, layout, and borders.  Overall this was my favorite choice.

PicMonkey
 This website is a lot like picnik (which is no longer active).  I really liked picnik, and this one is very similar.  I really like this for the features it provides.  Although, this website doesn't feature many layouts, borders, or overlays, but it also has Halloween features.  These features can turn the person in your photo into a vampire, a zombie, and many more.  This does offer the personal editing like teeth whitening and air brush, but you have to pay for certain ones.  Overall this is a great website minus the paying to use different features. 

I encourage you to explore these photo editing websites, and to find your own!!

Teacher Tools

Hey guys!  A few days ago, we explored several websites about tool for teachers and students.  These two websites were very fun to use, but I especially enjoyed SuperTeacher Tools!

Super Teacher Tools
This website offers games that help students study for a test and make learning fun!  You can play the games and make your own to suit the subject you are trying to learn.  One of the games I played was "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'  I like this game a lot because it shows you four choices for the answers.  I think this gives you a chance to recognize it with other choices.

 
 This is an example of the game.  It shows four choices if you select the right one, you move up on the money scale.

Another thing I enjoyed was the Random Fact Generator.  This is available to  students to use after taking a test.  You can download it as a desktop background.  Overall, this was my favorite tool to use.  This tool generates a new fact every 10 seconds.  They generate anything from crazy laws to weird science facts.  This is really fun! 

     This generates facts every ten seconds.  This helps you have fun and learn new things!  Try it!

 Class Tools

  This website helps students make templates for learning.  I didn't like this one as much because I didn't think it was much fun.  This is mainly to help students with their assignments such as making different diagrams.  It does have few games, but you create them yourself for a better understanding of what you're studying.  I didn't really explore this one much, but what I can tell is that this is more a learning website.

This website let's you choose your subject and template.  This offers over 25 different templates such as a fake Facebook page to a Venn Diagram.  This is a great website for helping kids learn as well as helping the teachers teach them!  I encourage you to try both out and see if you find them useful!

Enjoy!

Stykz

Hi everyone! Today was super fun! In the previous class we downloaded the Stykz app!  This let's you create an animation!  I have put mine below.  I didn't know what to do so I made a random dance item.  I hope you enjoy!

I encourage you to go check it out and make one yourself! If you don't want to create your own, you could look at other creations and communities! Enjoy!
