Today we went to Claymation to create avatars. These are some of the avatars I made. These people were made out of clay. If you want to have fun and try to create yourself or make silly looking people.
Today we searched other peoples blogs to see what types of hangman or crosswords or word searches they had. We played them and commented on the different games. Rogan and Tate's were my favorite because Rogan's was about basketball teams and Tate's was about anything and everything! In this picture, I was playing hangman in Westin's blog. It was over science, it made it interesting and was fun!
Today in class we explored different avatar sites. We could create as many on the site as we wanted too. The first site we explored was named Build Yourself Wild. Click here to go to it. On that site you could make a regular human or you could make him with animal parts. On my second one was South Park Studios. Click here to go to South Park Studios. On this site for avatars, you could make them look just like characters off South Park. Or make them however you want them to look. We also tried Dopple Me, but a lot of the funny or cool accessories were locked or we couldn't access. The last one here is OSOQ. You start by clicking here to go to OSOQ. On this one there is animations so it will flash or sparkle. It was probably my third favorite out of all. My second favorite was Build Yourself Wild, that is just a funny site! And last but not least South Park Studios was my favorite avatar site.
Today we had to download Google Earth. Personally I don't like it as much as Google Maps. I think it is harder to navigate and it takes forever to load. If you search something on Google Earth it takes forever to get it to the place you are wanting to search for and sometimes it won't even show up. On Google Maps you can easily search with ease and not have to get mad at waiting. On Google Earth I searched two different places and the same picture showed up on both. Yeah, it's a cool feature, but I'm going to stick with using Google Maps to find my destinations.
Today in class we had to make an iGoogle and add gadgets that our teachers wants us to and last week we had to search for a multiple gadgets. One that interested me was the Livestrong Fitness Tip of the Day. 8,063 users use this gadget on iGoogle. This will help with getting into shape if you desire to use those tips. I also found a gadget that has comics!! If you actually had a fun childhood or still are you like comics!! It's called GoComics.com and it has a comic of the day or you can go to the full site and look at more comics? There are 393,339 users on this gadget! If you like to hear Spanish word you cold try this app. It is a Spanish word of the day, it tells you a random Spanish word and tells you what it means! There are 74,717 users using this gadget.
Last Wednesday we explored Google Maps last week. Google has many different views. You can have live traffic feed, or you can have the satellite or map mode. You can now download the newest Google Maps and it is in 3D. Also a neat feature Google has added is that you can search for a place to go and it will tell you the directions you can go to get there. I have added two photos over the satellite mode and maps mode. the pictures are both Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. The top is satellite mode and bottom is maps mode.
