= = =Video Creation and Sharing=

I used the One True Media website to create a video of all the photos I used and created from the image manipulation and mashup section. One True Media has free resources that limit you to a 30 second video, or more advanced options with longer videos which costs. Below is the video I created:

=Image Sharing=

[|Flickr] is a Web 2.0 tool to share images. Many of the resources I used in this section can be linked to Flickr. My personal Flickr is linked [|here], and I would use it for professional purposes. I have the Instagram application on my phone which I use to share photos with friends and family.

=Image Manipulation and Mashups=

Using several different Web 2.0 resources I took some of my favorite photos, and manipulated them with changes.

=Photo 1 - The United States Capitol Building=

I used BeFunky to create a historical feel to the photo.

= = =Photo 2 - Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception=

I used Big Huge Labs to turn this photo of me at the Basilica into a jigsaw puzzle. This is a really awesome function, and it looks like a real puzzle!





=Photo 3 - Colorado Summer 2008=

I used Image Chef that turned this photo into the main photo on a screen in a stadium. One of the main features of Image Chef is you can put a border around your photos.

=Photo 4 - Graduation Day 2012=

I used the Pixlr resource to use a photo from my graduation into a Hope photo. The Hope was something used when President Obama first ran in 2008 for the presidency. Pixlr allowed me to add words, and change how the photo looks.



=Photo 5 - My sister and I with Beto (The Creator of Zumba Fitness)=

I used Pixlr to change the colors of the photo, and used the Night Vision feature to make the photo look like it was taken at night.

=[|Ten by Ten]=

Ten by Ten is a free resource that shows images with news stories. This is updated every hour with the top one hundred stories from around the globe. The stories within the grid are organized by popularity and value. To view the story, click on the image within the grid. This resource could help educators make news more interesting if students can see images associated with the stories, and look at the most popular news of the day. Below is a screenshot of the 11am 10 by 10 page with the focus on campaign as that is my interest. Students would be able to look at articles related to the campaign, or whatever topic interests them.



=[|Scribble Maps]=

Scribble Maps is a free service that allows anybody to use Google Maps to draw on the m = = aps, add text, put points on the map, and share the maps. This tool could be very helpful for geography classes, and you can use maps of anywhere in the world. Below is the map I selected, and my scribble circling the United States of America.

=[|Historypin]=

Historypin is a free service with Google that allows anyone with a Google account to put images on a current Google Maps Streetview. You can also look at images added by others. This is a good social studies tool because students could put images of how things use to be in a certain location, or pictures of historical figures from that area.

=[|Poll Everywhere]=

I created a poll via Poll Everywhere. This is a tool to survey people through a webpage, mobile device, text message, or Twitter. Results are uploaded from your survey in real time. I asked the question : "what is your favorite color". I had forty responses which is the maximum allowed for the free service. The results are presented below in the word cloud. The bigger the color is, the more responses it had compared to others. Purple and green are clearly the favorite color of those who took the survey. media type="custom" key="20252852" width="156" height="156"
