1.    a. Communication between teachers and students will be very easy. In the web site, students will have an easy access to teachers e-mail, instant messaging, etc.
b.    Document sharing will be ideal to my web site. This will help students who can’t print things on time. They will be able to share their documents with their teachers.
c.    Collaboration on projects will be easy because students will be able to instant message and chat by video.

2. There will be two other functions or appliances that student scan access on the web site. The first one is a music player that students can put songs onto to listen to that will keep them focused on assignments. The second appliance is a link called “Student Corner.” The link will bring them to a chat room to hangout in when they are done.

3. Besides two student links, there will also be two educational functions. There will be link to ASK.com so students can ask questions that are troubling them. There will also be a link can have teacher voice clips that can help explain all.

5. This site could be good for a Spanish class because the music could be in Spanish which could help students learn while concentrate. Voice clips are good because Spanish needs to have good pronunciation. Teachers could post voice clips of them speaking Spanish so students could have a reference to go to. The chat rooms and “Student Corner,” are ideal because they can ask each other questions about their work.

Final Project pt.1 (zeeya)

For my last site I chose Zeeya. Unfortunately, th web site did not work for me. This web site is designed to be an international community for students and teachers. You send messages regarding school as well as blogs and pictures. This is an ideal spot for teachers giving advice and students seeking advice. The registration process is ridiculous.

Final Project pt.1 (backboard)

Backboard is a web site where you insert all of the projects you are working on. After you become a member you can apply all of your current school projects and ideas on your homepage. Other people can provide feeds and advice for your project. This is a good site for students because they can obtain comments on their work from other citizens, including teachers. You can use documents, images, text, and URLs.

BuddySchool is another good learning source for students and teachers. The site is a platform for people who want to study or tutor online. The majority of users are teachers and students. Students are able to login and from study topics and groups. On the other hand, teachers are able to post lessons for their students as well as discussion topics. Another feature is you can teach online and make money!

Google Maps Mash-Up

I went to the web site paintmap. It is a site where you can search for any type of art in the world. The home page has a map and any where you click it brings up numerous amounts of paintings done in the area. If you become a member then you are able to comment on any piece of art. This is an ideal site for young artists looking for examples. You can also upload your paintings at home if desired. There are currently 66 paintings with 18 different artists around the world. That is a basic overview of the web site.

Online Photo Editing

skylerdreher — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:44:41 +0000

For my online photo editing project I used the three sites, Picnik, Photoshop Online, and Splashup. Picnik was preety easy to use. It had the ability to add text to the picture. Overall i would rate the site8/10. Photoshop Online was also pretty easy to manage. You could change color of the text which was a good advantage. Ovrall 7/10. Splashup was absolutely terrible and did not work. It was confusing to manage. Overall 2/10.

I sent you the two finished products to your e-mail.
