This week in class we worked with a lot of different tools that allow you to communicate with other people. The main tool that we used was Twitter. Twitter is a very cool site that allows people to follow each other. What this means is that if one person follows another they can see what that person has to say about anything. Usually this site is used for stupid purposes such as seeing what a celebrity has to say about their day. But this site can be used very effectively for a professional reason. For example if you are a teacher you can see what head educators in the country have to say about the current system and what they think should be done in the classroom.
Another tool that we used in class was called animoto. This was a site that allowed you to upload your own pictures on it and make a professional slide show out of them. This site is very simple to use but you don’t have much control over how your show is done.
In class we started working with our groups and talking about what we would do for our project. We decided that for our project we would take a famous fairy tale such as the three pigs and putting a wierd twist on it.
