Symbaloo

Symbaloo is a great tool for social bookmarking.  A social bookmarking website is a website that is used for storing links on a page.  The links are named and also have an icon that you can customize.  Another great feature is that there are webmixes.  A webmix is a tool where you can search for a certain  subject and there will be an entire page of link tiles that are specifically dedicated to that topic.  You are able to put a link to any page that you wish to have on your page.  Another great feature is that you can personalize your page by adding a back round to your page.  You can choose from a selected amount of photos or you can upload your own photo.  Symbaloo is a great tool!

Voki

Today, we learned how to make a Voki avatar.  A Voki is an online avatar that you can make to use on blogs or anything else on the web to symbolize an online version of you or make something goofy and fun.  On Voki, you can use many different layouts for the characters you customize.  You can be anything from a shark, an alien, or the president.  There are many different ways to customize your Voki.  You can change the hair color, hair style, skin color, eye color, and many more including the jewelry they wear.  Another feature on Voki is the ability to make them speak by adding text or by recording your own voice!  Overall, Voki is a fun way to personalize your blog!

My Time on the Internet

Whenever I am on the internet, I am usually on USA Today, Facebook, or Twitter.  I also use google for whenever I have questions about anything.  I also face time friends using my home Ipad.  Facebook and Twitter are both used to connect with friends and family using social networking.  You can share pictures and posts with everyone that wants to see them.  USA Today is used to read the latest news around the world and is separated into different categories of news.  Face time is used for face-to-face chat online with friends and family.
