Scribblar

I found this very useful and creative online technology tool known as Scribblar. It is free to use and it is a very fun tool that you can use to do a variety of many different things. With this tool, you are able to use and create using your own whiteboard. This whiteboard is much like a "room" in the sense of you being able to make whatever it is you want, and how u want to make it. You can do so in many different ways using basic things such as text, lines, shapes, and even color! A really great part about this tool as well is that you are able to upload your own images and modify those as you wish. This allows you to personalize your whiteboard in any way you wish. You can set up your own backgrounds and if there is a picture in an album that you have that you wish to change, you can easily do so using this online tool. Commenting on these images is also something very useful that goes on with this tool as well. This allows others to put their opinions on the whiteboard and will give you access to feedback and you decide wether to improve on that feedback or not. An even better related feature would be a chat based system in which you can instantly and directly stay in contact with others using the whiteboard system. There is also a very advanced and innovative voice system as well in which you can actually speak to others that are using this online tool. You can create a free account with this online tool and this will make it much easier to invite others, wether this be your friends or others who would be interested in using this whiteboard online tool.

Linoit

I came across this amazing technology tool while surfing the web for better ways to keep organized. Linoit allows you to take notes wherever you are and at any time you please. It takes the concept of sticky notes to a whole new level. You can access this tool from pretty much anywhere, wether that be your home, your workplace, or even your car! You are able to post one of these sticky online notes whenever you need to. You are also able to organize your stickers in many different ways and even change their colors so that you can categorize them in ways that are helpful to you. You can even create layouts of your pictures and movies as you like so you can share them with your friends or family. Another way to post these stickies is through e-mail. You can use these stickies to share files amongst your colleagues and friends. This technology tool is more for organization than anything. It allows you to become organized in a way that you never have to miss due dates or assignments. With this very helpful online tool, you will know where you need to be and accomplish all of your tasks right on time!

Flickr

I found this awesome technology tool known as Flickr. There are many different types of things that you can do with Flickr that can help people learn in many different ways. It allows people to share photographs with others and you can also use it to find photographs to use in a lesson. There is also something known as Five Card Flickr which allows you to choose one of five photos and create a story with those photographs. You can then write your story on the blog itself. Flickr Poet is also something that you can use to turn a poem or sentence into random text or a sequence. The different variations of Flickr can allow you to pull in words from Flickr and animates them into a sequence. You can also use flickr photos to make picture books which you can publish or share. I encourage the use of technology tools such as flickr because I think it is a great way for people to use technology to learn, but to be creative as well. You can use your imagination on what pictures of photographs to use with this tool, but also on what stories or events you wish to create with this technology tool. Just like many other technology tools that can be useful to both students and teachers, this tool can bring an infinite amount of creativeness and there is no end to the possibility of things that you can do with it. Pictures and photographs are always fun, but with flickr it takes the fun to a new level while actually doing something creative and worthwhile with it.
