      Today I was given an assignment where I need to put more gadgets on my blog and make it more interesting. The gadgets that I found were very intriguing, I found gadgets that actually add games to your blog, clocks, countdown timers, and many other things that are very interesting. I cool gadget that you can add to your blog is the "Pac-Man" gadget; This gadget adds the original Pac-Man game to your blog for everyone to see and if they wish to do so, play. There are many gadgets available to anyone that wants them, I am pretty sure that all of them are free. The gadgets you can use number up in the hundreds, the gadgets that are available to use for instance are:
                                                                     Pac-Man Flash Game
                                                               Search This Blog

To add a Gadget all you have to do is go to the design page of your blog, and then all you have to do is search for the gadget that you actually want or just search for it in the search bar that is provided at the top right of the screen. Many of these gadgets are just used for fun or to more publicize your blog more, so that you can just get more attention if you want it.

Today for class I was assigned the task to use a site/program called symbaloo. This site and or program is a type of bookmarking site that you can use as your homepage and it will show all the sites that you have put on there as a bookmark. This website and or tool is a convenient tool to use for school, because of how once you put a bookmark for a site it never gets deleted unless you manually delete it from your "webmix." This program lets you make your own webmix on which you can customize to your liking in order to make it to your likings. Some benefits for using this bookmarking site is that when you are at school and you don't have enough time to do you work, all you have to do is go to this site and bookmark the important websites that you need. Another benefit is that you can use this anywhere, as long as you don't forget your login info; which is convenient for people who travel a lot. 






If you wish to go to this Website and or Tool. Here is the link. www.symbaloo.com

Voki:
My current assignment is to use the Voki program for my blog to welcome people to it. This program uses voices that you can choose from to put on this "avatar" to make it sound cool and/or funny. The voices were pre-recorded for your own daily basis work for any type of site and/or blog. An avatar for Voki is where you can choose a pre-made picture of someone or something that will talk and/or move to the voices that you assign it to use.

You can record your own voice for the avatar to use on the site, which is totally safe and fun to use when your bored. The Voki program also has an extra part to the program called "Voki Classroom" which adds many different options to the program for you to use; I have no idea if you have to pay for this extra add-on but I think it might just be worth the cost if you will use it in class. If you do record your voice for the avatar the maximum you can record is up to 90 seconds, which is handy when you have to do assignments for different classes at school or many other things.

If you wish to go to this site and create your own Voki click on this link:  http://www.voki.com/create.php

This site is reliable and fun to use and I recommend this program highly. This program is convenient for people doing assignments for school and other things. My overall thought about this program is that it is useful but I think that it still needs work.

How often I am on the internet/blog.

Well, the problem with the internet for me is that, I would rather not be on the internet other than talk to friends; so I am not always on unless I get comments on my blog. So if you ever want or need to talk to me, just comment on one of my posts on my blog, and I will answer as soon as I can.  ( Check out my cool picture. Hahahaha. (:
