Animoto

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Animoto is a fun and easy way to make a slideshow of your pictures. You can also incorporate music with your pictures. It is really fun and easy. You can have a video up to thirty seconds for free but anything over that you have to pay for it. I think if you used this enough though it would definitely be worth it to purchase. It is kind of like an online scrapbook for your memories.

I really like it and plan to use it in the future for many things.

Experiences with Skype

We have talked to many people on Skype and I have learned many things. Some of the experiences we have had are with Tom Whitby, Will from Juxio, Maggie from Diigo, Kimmie from Symbaloo, and the class in Philly. We have learned many things from these people. I really appreciate all the help we have received from them. I like how we have learned how to use these Web 2.0 websites by the creator. It is interesting to hear there stories about how they started. It is cool how they started off small to having these huge websites where thousands of people use them everyday.

I love how my mom (Mrs. Miller) is teaching the class also. It's fun learning from her since I hear her talking about it all the time. I am so proud of all the new people she is meeting and the difference she is making in Van Meter and around the world. =)

One of the web 2.0 tools we talked about was Juxio. I love this tool. It is a lot of fun to use. I like how you can put pictures in there and then put a text box describing it. This will definitely be a tool that I use in the future. It was really cool how Will, the creator, taught us how to use it http://www.juxio.com/blog/juxio-and-the-classroom .

My PLN Journey and What it means to me

To me my PLN journey means the journey I am going to take in my life. The things I am going to do and what I want to do when I get older. Ecology and Biology is a big part of this journey for me. I want to be an ecologist or a biologist. Iowa and Uni are also a big part of this journey those are the places I might that I want to go to college. Those are a few things about my PLN journey and what it means to me.
