Picture Edition

Picmonkey.com is pretty awesome for just simple picture editing. All you do is click on one you like and just adjust the effects to your likes. http://www.picmonkey.com/#
Pixlr.com is pretty much the same as Picmonkey, it only has more options to pick from and it also doesn't have the adjusters that picmonkey has. Yet i found it pretty cool and edited an awesome picture. http://pixlr.com/o-matic/
Fotoflexer.com is awesome yet it takes time for you to get use to all the different things you can do. If you know what you are doing then this will be your friend in editing awesome pictures! http://fotoflexer.com/app/index.php?integration=upload
Befunky.com is kind of boring to me. It does have some cool effects but maybe it's more complicated and you need to know what your doing to use it. http://www.befunky.com/

Sumopaint App literally stinks. If i was to use this as a pro i wouldn't want my customers being stratified with my work. http://www.sumopaint.com/app/

My Choice would be Pixlr.com. It is is fun and i enjoyed working on it and my finished project.
Picmonkey is the easiest because you have nothing to do except click on a format you like.
Hardest one is Sumopaint App, I hated this one and i think it is because i didnt understand how to use it's tools.
The most useful one will be Pixlr.com because it has so many effects that can be used, is easy to understand and is very quick with its effects.

GO(OOGLE DRIVE

The Google Drive document is pretty much the same as any other document that you can find anywhere else, the only difference is that it doesn't highlight your words when they are spell wrong and it is also a little different because it pops up in another tab instead of being its own application. I could use this in any class i wanted to. It is about as easy as all the other applications.

The Google Drive presentation has all the same features that regular presentation applications have. This one just has different layouts to begin with but have basically all the same buttons and useful things like transitions and themes. It is pretty easy to use and would recommend it to anyone who wants to use an on-line back up.I could use this for my speech in English class.
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e7b6bx69Ns4701FkAWJydpmTzdoPccbr4OrqkusyNJ4/edit#slide=id.gb046801e_054
The Google Drive spreadsheet is almost identical to numbers. There no differences that i saw neither was it to hard to use. It has the same set-up as numbers and is very easy to use even if your new. I would use this in accounting classes to keep my numbers straight.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmDtPYlivPBIdEM0RGNOX05DcTVmNnlQaFlST2FvSlE#gid=0
The Google drive form is a pretty simple procedure. My only problem was i don't know what i would use it for. It was easy to do all the steps required so I'm sure if you knew what to use it for that you would be off easily. I would probably use this in some business class.

The Google Drive drawing is just a simple drawing application that anyone can use. It is very self explanatory and i would use this in art class if i needed to sketch up something really quick.

Google Tricks

1-Google Loco- This trick is all about having the Google Trademark say Google Loco, everytime you type in a word it changes the color in the search box and the trademark sign moves. It also works the same as regular Google. The link is also different. http://www.thatsloco.com/
2-Blackle- This trick for Google changing the background color to black so that it saves your electronic device energy. You can do everything else that you would do on the regular Google. Except it cut out all the extra stuff and left the web and images only. It also counts how many watts are being saved! http://blackle.com/
3-Gothic Engine- This is a Google Gothic Search Engine. It has a Gothic background and instead of saving feeling lucky it says feeling depressed. Also the search words are pink. Other then that is is the same as a regular Google search. http://www.gothicengine.com/
4-Chuck Norris- This one is a funny Google search for Chuck Norris. It makes a joke about how you can't find Chuck Norris but he finds you and other things. http://www.nochucknorris.com/
5-Pac Man Google- This one is a Pac Man Google game when you search. The Google Logo is actually a Pac Man Game that you can actually play. This one does everything else that a regular Google does. https://www.google.com/doodles/30th-anniversary-of-pac-man

FireFox Persona

A FireFox persona is the picture you see at the top of the page and then also at the bottom. We experimented with them an changed them around but we also got to make our own. the only problem with that is that it is very tuff to get your picture the way you want it and the right size so you can see it, but it was fun.

Feedjit

This gadget lets you see who gets on your page. When they get on it and all about them. It updates automatically

Free study cards helper

This app is all about making notecards. Who doesn't need note cards in any class. They are a major help in study for any test or quiz you have. If I needed a quick study I would use this app because its quick and simple. This app would be used mostly in English and government.

Evernote

This apps basically a updated agenda on the Web. You can write your ideas and plans down, take notes, upload pictures and even more. This app was introduced to me by my English teacher but I never used it. Now that I've actually grown up a bit I think it would be a great app to use in my everyday life.

MyBigCampus

This app is basically the Facebook of school. Here you can be a student or a teacher. The teachers can put assignments and lesson on here or little odd ends that we might need for homework. Then the students can use that and also talk to teachers and fellow students. This is very useful when you have been gone for awhile and can use this at home or anywhere else. I use this app when I need to check up on my homework.

Hudl

This app is for any sports that you are in. On this app you upload a video of your performance and then you can go back and look at it at anytime, but you also can use this gadget to make a highlight film in case your interested in showing it to others and coaches. I used this app for football and to send out my highlight films.

Notability

This app is used for taking notes, hence the name. It is a very useful tool but it takes some time to get use to. You can highlight, write and type on this app which adds flexibility. I use this app in any class I'm in to take my notes and sometimes even do my homework!

CAPSULE: CAPTURE YOUR LIFE, ONE MOMENT AT A TIME

My second application is Capsule. This is a great app. It is used for making like an online photo album thats online. You can save all your pictures on here and then arrange them as you want. If you have ever been over run by all your photos that you have and need to have them in a safer or better place, then try this app! You can use this app for any of your journalism classes and any computer classes that you might need pictures for. It's easy access to get online and to use anywhere.

POWTOON-MAN FOR THE PRESENTATION

My first application is Powtoon. This application is all about making an presentation even more awesome. It brings your presentation to life, instead of having a boring presentation that no one wants to listen! I could use this in almost any class that i need a presentation for. You start off with your basic idea and then add your information like you normally do, then you just add awesome animations to do all your explaining for you.

App. vs. Web

The app has some pretty cool features on it. During the time I spent playing with it I realized that you can get a preview on here by touching an eye icon, also you can edit your post but at the same time edit your HTML. I also thought it was way easier to start this post then to do it on the web. Although these are all good, the app also has a down side. Everything is smaller on the app, which in turn makes it harder to read and work on. You also don't get to see your gadgets or get your links like on the web. Another problem with this app is that you cant see your stats, atleast from what i saw when i was flipping though pushing all the buttons i saw. Their is the problem of viewing the same thing, you don't get the same effect and view on this app that you get when your on the web. In all though the app does provide a quicker alternative to get the minimal things done on your blog, don't expect to do any major changes on your actual blog. If I was wanting to do some major changing to my background or see stats, or add anything other then a post and picture, then I would use the web. For quick updates and blog posts, or to see comments on my posts while I was out and about I would use the app, because it is a lot quicker in those few aspects. I believe both are user friendly because they both are pretty much self explanatory. Though I would say the app is more user friendly due to the fact that their aren't as many things that can be done that are very in depth except the changing of the HTML.
