Today we will be working with the presention tools of Glogster and Prezi.
Simply put, a Glog is a kind of poster —fully designed by you! A Glog is a unique creation made up of text, images, music and video. It can be colorful, emo, or rock—it’s up to you to make your Glog stand out. Glogs are a perfect way to express who YOU are!
Presentations have not evolved much in the 50 years since the slide was invented, but Prezi is changing that. Prezi lets you bring your ideas into one space and see how they relate, helping you and your audience connect. Zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to see details.
Assignment #1: Create Login Accounts with both websites.
Assignment #2: Choose one of the presentation tools and create a project about something of interest to you. See my examples on business classes. Explore! Make this your own creation. Once you have your project complete add your finished product to your blog.

There's an app for that! Wednesday, May 4th
The word app is short for “application.” Application in this case refers to a software application. An app is not just any old software program — it’s a special type of software program. An app typically refers to software used on a smartphone or mobile device such as the Android, iPhone, BlackBerry or iPad, as in “mobile app” or “iphone app.” But the phrase “Web app” or “online app” is also used in a business setting as an abbreviation for “Web application” or “online application” — meaning software that you access and use while online, via a browser, instead of software residing on your computer.“Why should I care about apps?” Two good reasons: (1) Web apps or online apps can be a faster, cheaper, more efficient way of deploying software in your business. Rather than buying a software license, having to install it on your servers or local computers, keeping up with updates — all of which can be expensive and take time — you can simply go online and sign up for an account. In a few minutes you are using the software. And typically you pay a monthly fee, meaning that you don’t have to pay license fee up front.
(2) Mobile apps extend the reach and productivity of your business. Once you equip your mobile device and/or your employees’ mobile devices with apps, then you and they can perform all sorts of business functions while out of the office traveling, on sales calls, making service calls, etc. Apple has created a monster with over 65,000 different applications that are available for the iPhone, iPod touch, and the iPad. With twenty categories of applications you are bound to find one that fits your needs.

Photo Editing & Other Fun Things - Monday, May 2nd
Did you know that some one who sits at a computer and edits photos all day makes anywhere from $21,300 - $66,250 per year! What a great way to get paid for something you love to do!
These three photo editing sites are free to create your own images with no sign in required!
You can check out Ms. Wilson's photo editing skills on her personal blog Ms. Wilson's Blog!
GlowTxt is similar to the textanim site we used early in the semester, this just gives you other options to look at. Create a GlowTxt and add it to your blog somewhere.
If you finish all these activities browse the blog backgrounds for an updated look!
