JibJab

Today I explored JibJab.  On JibJab, you can upload pictures to animated videos. In this video, you upload pictures to "Elf Yourself" and your friends.

Kerpoof

Today we explored Kerpoof.  Kerpoof is a website for children or young adults to play on without the threat of something bad happening.  I find Kerpoof very enjoyable though.  On the website, you can make movies, spell pictures, make cards, draw, or tell a story.

With "Spell a Picture", you choose a background and then spell words to go in that background.

With "Make a Movie", you can choose a theme and then literally animate the scene.  It is sort of like using a flash player.

Using "Make a Card", you can design a card from the templates that they have on there.

"Make a Drawing" and "Make a Picture" are basically the same thing, except on Make a Picture, you drag and drop objects whereas on Make a Drawing, you can draw whatever you want.

"Tell a Story" was one of my favorite things on this website.  I wrote a pirate themed story.

Kerpoof is like a gaming website, because you earn coins for using the site and then can buy things at the store.  You can also make avatars if you create an account.  Here is my avatar...

Nota

Today we explored Nota.  Nota is an interactive collaborative website that lets you work with up to 50 different people on one page.  Tommy, Sarah, Ryan and I made this sweet picture.

 

Comix

Today we explored Comix.  Comix is an interactive website that allows you to make a comic strip online.  It is easy to navigate and use.  Because I'm not very funny, I just made a guy do a cartwheel in my comic strip that I designed.

If you look really closely, you can see that I also hid a little penguin in every slide.  In the first one he's in the tree, in the second one, he's below the tree, and in the third one, he is on the hill.

Imagination Cubed

Today we explored Imagination Cubed.  Imagination Cubed is a doodle website designed by GE.  It is a neat tool, but it is really slow on our computers.  Especially when you're doodling with a friend.  Despite that fact, Sarah and I drew a pretty cool picture of the night sky.

If you look closely, you can see Sarah's marker at the bottom of the page.
