What we're learning in class right now is about the planning process for our projects. My project is called "Bre's Story". It's about birth and a little bit on. I'm mainly going to talk about my infancy because there's a couple interesting parts in my infancy. I'm not completely sure what should come next. HAHA.
On www.mywebspiration.com, we made a moment map. On mine, it listed interesting things about my infancy. Such as, where I was born, when, what time, and to whom I was conceived. My project is going to be made into a slideshow, with many pictures of me being hooked up to a bunch of cords and all that good stuff.
What I am going to say in my presentation will be on the slides and in the notes section on my papers.

New Google stuff
Today we started playing in www.google.com/experimental. We are supposed to go through it and play in the little websites it has.
So far, the ones I like are:
Google Image Swirl- There you can type in something you want to see in an image. Then, it'll make a spider web-looking thing. The web is made up of the photos that you can look at from the search results.
Google Script Converter- Here, you can type in something you might want to search and there's drop box below the search box and you can select a language you want to convert those words to. It's a lot of fun, in my opinion, but the downside is that you don't have a lot of languages to choose from.
Google Flu Trends- This will help me learn how the flu rates are. As of now, the country that has the highest flu rate is Hungary. Theirs says that it is "High". I hope they all get well. The U.S.'s flu rate as of now, is "Moderate", meaning it's not too high and not too low. It's right in between. So, that's not too bad. Thanfully.
Similar Images- I like this because if I type in an image to search, it will show me similar pictures instead of a bunch of different things. It also shows related searches.

Trials and Trips of PSA
Over the last week, we had to make a Public Service Announcement (PSA)for computer class. It was supposed to be over the 5 rights in the First Amendment. The rights are speech, press, petition, assembly, and religion. After we made the PSA, we had to upload in onto Schooltube.com to enter it into the Five Rights contest. Now we have to wait to see who will win the contest. Good luck to everyone!

How Technology Affects Society
Today's society has been changed so much by technology. There are tools and applications such as Web 2.0, gadgets and widgets, embedded codes, Google wave, Facebook, and Hotmail.
WEB 2.0-
Web 2.0 has benefited society by letting you have applications that help you make creative works. An example of a Web 2.0 is Wordle. There, you can make awesome looking word clouds out of a bunch of random words. You can make the layout horizontal, vertical, mostly horizontal, mostly vertical, every which way, and many others. You can also customize the colors of the font and the background. You can even change the font. Another example would be Flickr. Flickr lets you share your photos with everyone. You do have to have a Flickr account in order to use the application.
Gadgets and Widgets-
Gadgets and widgets have benefited society by letting you add applications and links to blogs and web pages. I find them very helpful when I am trying to make my blog look fun and creative. It also helps let viewers learn a little about the person who made the blog or web page and what they might be interested in.
Embedded Code-
Embedded codes benefit society by letting you share all that you want onto a page. You can embed codes for music videos, games, or anything else you like. They also are something that can help make your pages fun and creative.
Google Wave-
Google Wave has benefited society by letting people have presentations. It can be like an online communication where you can share your videos, maps, pictures, etc., with others. An example of a use for Google Wave would be, if you're inviting people to a party you can keep it organized on who says yes, no, or maybe. I'd say that Google Wave has made things on the computer and in life, a lot more organized. I would definitely use it.
Facebook-
Facebook is my all time favorite out of all of these. It's a site where you can go and connect with old friends and make new ones. Facebook has chat on it, so you can IM your friends and still play on one of Facebook's many applications. Facebook has games, quizzes, polls, surveys, and other applications. It's basically a blog, but it has a bunch more things you can do on it.
