Primary Games

Today I played some games on Primary Games.  I'm sure most of you have heard of "Crazy Taxi."  That is the first game I played.  It is just a timeless classic.  The second game I played, and again, I'm sure you have heard of, is "Dune Buggy."  The next game I played was one that Taylor suggested to me.  It is called "Urban Basketball."  That game was very fun, and pretty self explanatory.  The last game I played was the most fun.  It was called "Pro Football."  It is just a basic football game where you have to avoid the defenders.  Go check out some of Primary Games now!!

Today I played around with ToonDoo.  ToonDoo is a website that lets you make little comic strips or books.  As of right now I have four characters for my book.  This is what one of the characters looks like.  His name is Shade Baby.

Visitors to my Blog

Today I did some checking up on the people that are visiting my blog.  I used three different tools.  One was Flag Counter.  It was in my last post.  Since I have added that gadget to my blog, only people from America from visited my blog.  Including a person from California. 
The next gadget that I used was Feedjit.  I have also blogged about Feedjit.  This gadget I added a while ago, so it has more visitors.  What I thought was very cool, is that I had a different person from California, but also a person from Algeria. 
The last tool that I used to track my visitors is the one that Blogger supplies.  It gives me a very wide assortment of information about the people that visit my blog.  Right now, I am at 740 page views.

Flag Counter

Another site that I visited today was Flag Counter.  This site is a lot like Feedjit because it can track your visitors.  Flag Counter put a flag on a map of where your visitors are from.

Flowers 2 Mail

Today I visited a virtual flower making website.  It is called Flowers 2 Mail.  This site lets you make a bouquet of flowers on the computer and then send them to a person via email.  It is a pretty easy way to send your mom a Mother's Day gift, or just to be nice to someone.  Go check it out right now!!

Word Clouds

Today I went to two websites that make word clouds.  Word clouds are cool images because they can take a large text, and the words that are used the most in that text, will show up bigger.  The first website that I went to was Wordle.  I copied the best speech ever given: Michael Irvin's hall of fame speech from 2007.  It was so inspirational.
 The second site that I went to today was Tagxedo.  That site appeared to have more options as far as shapes, but not as many colors.  I went on the internet and found some random facts about elephants and then put them into am elephant shape.  Just for the heck of it.

More Photo Editing

Today I visited some more photo editing websites.  One, was PhotoFunia.  This site lets you take a picture that you have on your computer,  and put it in different places like Times Square, Mt. Rushmore, or like I did, a graffiti wall. 
The other interesting website that I visited, and my favorite for today, was FotoFlexer.  FotoFlexer lets you do a wide assortment of photo editing.  I decided to put my face on the body of a super model and a kitteh.

piZap/Pic Monkey

I had one of the most fun days today that I have had so far this semester.  I played around with two picture editing websites.  The first: Pic Monkey.  This website lets you add a filter, text, and many other fun effects.  For this picture, I added some text, and the color contrast. 









The second site that I visited was piZap.  I had the most fun on this site.   This site can let you either edit a photo, or you can make a collage of photos.  What I did was take a picture and edit it.  A lot.  As you can tell, I gave me some BLING!!





















Go check out these sites right now!!

Super Teacher Tools/Class Tools

I went to two sites the other day, and they were very fun.  One, Class Tools, is a cool website that has a feature that lets you make a Fakebook page.  It is similar to Facebook, but it is fake; hence the name Fakebook.  If you type in a name, it will search the internet and give you a profile picture of a popular person with that name.  I did The Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper. 
  The other website that I visited was Super Teacher Tools.  This site is the one that I had the most fun on.  There are several tools there that can be useful to teachers to liven up their classroom.  One game on there was hangman.  You could have a classmate type in a word or phrase and then you could guess it.
My favorite thing on Super Teacher Tools though, was Random Fact Desk.  Random Fact Desk gives you a random fact every ten seconds or so.  There are many facts on there that are cool and somewhat unsettling.

Stykz

This is my Stykz video that I made.  Stykz is a downloadable program that is addicting because you are essentially making a flip-book.  You just place the images where you want to to create a video.  As you can tell, this is a pretty intense fight scene.  Viewer discretion is advised.
