Free App Reviews

Google Docs is an amazing app free to anyone with a google account. You can create a spreadsheet, word processing document, presentation, form, table, or script. It is formatted much like microsoft office, with some differences. The one that I am most familiar in working with is the Document writer. It is amazing because it allows any goole user that you invite, to view the document. There is also a feature that you can allo people to edit the document, allowing  sycronized collaboration while all are logged on to different computers, and potentially in different areas of the world. Another feature that I am absolutely amazed with is Google Docs auto save. Anything that you type or edit is automatically saved on the cloud, which also means that it eliminates the need to a flash drive or any mass storage device as long as you have access to the internet and your free google account.

FotoFlexer is an application for editing and enhancing photos. I am new to the FotoFlexer community but have used it enough to get the hang of it. It is much like Photoshop. You can add animations to an image, completely clip a person's image out of a photo, using a tool called Smart scissors. It is easy and allows you to do this quite quickly. There is also a tool that allows you to crop someone out of a photo, without leaving distortions, and is called Smart Resizing. FotoFlexer also has all of the normal photo editing tools as well. Again, all for free! Why pay for photo editing when it is on the web? I would recommend this app to anyone! 

My new Website

Click here to check out my new classroom website. I've designed in with parents and students in mind. There you will find a homework assignments page which will be updated weekly so both students and parents can see what will be due in the upcoming days. There is also a classroom announcements page that I will share important news and reminders. I have also included a class photo page so all the pictures we take during our activities can be published for all to see BEFORE the end of the year video! I've also included some google gadgets to keep you informed on what's happening outside of school. Enjoy!
