Week 1: Web 2.0

The first website I visited from Web 2.0 was called Photopeach.com. This website is used to help people create slide shows for various purposes. I think that it is geared towards upper elementary or middle school aged students however I think that people of any age and place in life could benefit from this website. I liked how you could do more then just create an average slide show. You could add music to it, you could add captions and you could even turn it into an interactive quiz. I think that this website would be a very great tool for people to remember to use for presentations.

The second website I visited was called flipsnack.com. This website is for turning files into flip books. I think that this could be used for any sort of presentation at almost any grade level. The only thing I found a little weird was that you have to have your files in PDF format to be able to upload them and turn them into a flip book. Other than that I think it is a really cool tool that people can use to turn things into a presentation for others to look at. I like that once a book is made you get a link to it and then this link can be shared with others so that they can see your flip book.

The third website I visited was called littlebirdtales.com. I really liked this website. It is a website where kids can create their own books or slide shows of pictures. I think that this would be a good presentation tool for people of any age but especially for elementary school kids because it lets them add a creative touch of using their own voice and artwork in the presentation. I think kids would love using this website. There are so many cool things that this website does. You can use their art studio and create work on there, or you can scan your artwork and upload it onto the website. You can also use real pictures too. Then words can be added and you can even upload your own voice narrating the book. Just like the previous website I visited you can also share your finished projects with other people by sending them the book through email.
