Word Clouds

Word Clouds are really fun to make because you can put any words you want in them.  You can get them from a song, a poem or anything else that you want.  In some sites like Tagxedo, you can arrange the words so they are in a shape of your choice, and the end result turns out really cool.  Another one like Wordle, you can make one specific word or words stand out out of all the rest of them.  My personal favorite is Wordle.  Because it's really fun and easy to use.

Image Chef

Now we are starting to use word clouds.  Image chef allows you to put words into random pictures or shapes.  It's cool that you can put any word or picture in it that you want.  The mosaic part is probably my favorite. 

Club Penguin!

Club Penguin is a virtual world.  You join free or pay and become a member.  You customize the color for your penguin and dress it up.  There are rooms that you go into.  In the rooms you can play games to earn coins, or you can waddle around and talk to other penguins.  If you are a member there are a lot more options for your penguin and its igloo. You can get a big igloo and put a bunch of cool furniture in it and invite your fellow penguin friends to come over.  Club Penguin!

Faviki

In faviki it pretty much combines wikipedia and social bookmarking.  you can bookmark pages using wikipedia terms, and everyone uses the same name for tags.  It's also cool because it sorts all of your tags automatically.  Faviki

Delicious

Another cool bookmarking site we looked at was Delicious.  Delicious allows you to save something you want and you can keep it private or you can allow other people to see it too.  It is very helpful, especially if you like to bookmark a lot of websites. Delicious

Diigo

Diigo is a really useful site to use.  It is very helpful for research and for projects..  You can highlight pictures and text and it goes straight to your diigo library.  Or you can add sticky notes to any  website.  www.diigo.com

Symbaloo

Symbaloo is a cool social bookmarking site to use.  It allows you to have the websites that you want on it.  It already has some on there like Youtube, Facebook, etc.  You can add and delete the ones you want.  It is a really simple and useful site. www.symbaloo.com

Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is a cool thing to use.  You can save any link or any other thing you want easily.  You can save it publicly and tag them with keywords.  Then they people that are following you can see what you have saved.  The tags are pretty helpful.  The allow people to find exactly what they are looking for in just one or more keywords.  Social bookmarking would be a great for working on a project.  It's easy to just save a site and have it handy for when you want to use it.  Sites like Symbaloo, Delicious, and Diigo are social bookmarking sites.

Meez Rooms

I created my own meez room.  I can invite anyone I want into my meez room.  It's really fun and I love having it.

MEEZ

The Meez avatars are really cool.  I love all of the customization, making your meez look however you want it.  You can go into rooms walk around, dance, sit, and chat with your friends.  You can also make customize your own room and invite people into it.  It's really fun to play with. www.meez.com
