Vines

TubeChop - (00:07)





















Urban Dictionary: Vine
A short random video that is compiled with 5-10 seconds of random things. They are frequently posted on social media; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.

E.g.
Hey man, did you see the vine by Jerome Jarre?

Yeah, that dude is hilarious

A problem I fced when trying to get this tube chop video into my blog is getting the video into the blog. I chopped the video in tube chop. Once I had finished chopping take the embedded code and return to your post on blogger. you will need to open up the post so you can edit, in the top left hand corner there will be a link HTML and paste the embedded code into the bottom of the HTML.


Here is a screenshot of what my HTML looks like.
If you see the top it has: <a href="http://www.tubechop.com/watch/6873972">TubeChop  -  ( 00:07 )</a><br  />
this is my link for my tube chop video


















My Review For: Meme generater and GraphJam

Meme Generator
graph jam is an online website that lets you create your own memes (like the one i have made below), recreate others memes and even let you look at others memes. The website is for free or you can sign up for a membership.

this is my meme that I made on meme generator.
Disclaimer: this meme was said by Darcymoose the moving Moose

You can use this website to make memes for many different subjects for school. For example you can use this in an Art class because you can also draw your own background picture. You can use this website for any class because you can always make something funny or relatable in any circumstance.

I didn't have many struggle with this website, though one important thing I found while using this website was that when you have finished your meme, you really need to make sure you're defiantly one hundred percent finished.

GraphJam
GraphJam is an online website that lets you make funny memes and graphs like the one I made below. It also lets you look at what others have made. the website is for free or you can sign up for a membership.

You can use this for many subjects in school. One, for example could be in maths. You can use this to draw a pie graph or any other graph regarding two different subjects. Also because its not only just graphs you can also create a meme for art or literacy if you had to draw the background picture (they have that option) or to write a quote.

A certain problem I faced while accessing this website was that it has two websites, (I call them the green page and the blue page) though there real names are green page: graph jam and blue page: graph jam maker. I worked out my dilemma by searching graph jam and in the search bar it had GraphJam Maker and tried that, and it worked.

I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about Meme Generator and GraphJam and gave you some insight into Meme Generator and GraphJam can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

My Review For: SurveyMonkey

Survey Monkey
Survey Monkey is a website that allows you to create surveys about what ever you please. You will need to make an account (don't worry there is a free version) and has many pre made surveys that you can use or you can make a totally make a brand new one.

This is a screenshot of my final survey


This a screenshot of SurveyMonkeys home page

You could use this website in any different subjects. one could be to help you study for a maths test. You can get a family member or a friend to make the survey with a bunch of answers (one or two right answers). This is a great study tool to use with all subjects and you can use multiple choice, short answer etc.

The only trouble I had with this website was when it didn't drag the template to the area where you write the survey. This trouble was only minor and I overcame it by asking my friend if I was doing anything wrong and asking them to do one for me to see what I had to do.

RESULTS:
Q1. The overall answer was the second one, I don't really care
Q2. The overall answer was the second one, I don't read through all of it
Q3. The overall answer was the second one, I just look at the pictures
Q4. The overall answer was the first one, Yes, it really helps me
Q5.  The overall answer was the first one, Yes, it's easy to access


I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about Survey Monkey and gave you some insight into Survey Monkey can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

My Review For: Voki

Voki
Voki is a website that allows you to create mini avatars which can move with your mouse and speak in many different languages. It allows you to customize your character and to dress it up, it also allows you to add different backgrounds.

You could use this website in many subjects. One of my preferences would be to use this in a extra language class; e.g. for a French assignment where you have to teach someone French, this would be a great idea to get your writing skills up by writing in French and letting your avatar say it in front of the class. You could also use this in a computer art class if you were to make an avatar.

A small challenge I faced was when I wanted my avatar to change languages, it would take a long time to process. Though I quickly overcame by waiting and having something else to do in another tab. It really depends on the length of your text and what language you start on.

 
I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about Voki and gave you some insight into Voki can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.

My Review For: TimeGlider

TimeGlider
 Timeglider is a website that lets you have free trials or paid membership and lets you retell history by recording the important details, when it happened, a picture and a link or a video. 
 Timeglider is a website that lets you have free trials or paid membership and lets you retell history by recording the important details, when it happened, a picture and a link or a video. 

Here is a sreenshot of my final product

You could use this in most subjects, though the typical and easiest subject to use this is would be history to (like i did) record when certain monarchs ruled and what happened in their life, though one that people might not get is that you could also use this for an I.T class, for example looking up the history of a certain software or the different products, when they were made and how it has changed over time.

I faced many challenges with this website, one of them was that it has NO save button for your final product, this means when you log out you don't know if all your work that you had just done is saved or if you sent all that time to write for nothing. I soon found out by fiddling around with the website, that if you press save when you have finished writing and log out (yes, I know this is a little risky, just believe me) then log back in. press app wait for it to load, then press what your timeline is called-
you will get something that looks like this. Here you will need to press the open timeline tab (where mine has a close timeline you will have an open timeline instead) and there is your timeline.



You might need to play with this bar to see the different points

I hope this post helped you realise the pros and cons about Timeglider  and gave you some insight into Timeglider can help you achieve and in what different subjects at school you can use it for.
