third emerging technology!

http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer.aspx?sbid=2277505

I did scrapblog to make a scrapbook of my boys!  This wasn't exactly one of the easier multimedia editors I have ever used but it was really difficult either.  A little slow and it costs money to buy tokens that you use to buy stickers and backgrounds and stuff.   Some of the things are free but the better ones have to be bought.  It was delightful enough but I think I will just stick with some of the free editors :)

Picnik-this is my second emerging technology blog! :)


I decided to use picnik and jazz up a picture since I have always seen people doing it to theirs on facebook and what not!  I thought I better learn lol!
It was super easy to use!! and FREE!! You don't even have to register for the site like most things!!  Experimenting with all of the different effects is fun too!  I had a hard time trying to decide what to do and I liked the fact that you can layer the different effects on top of eachother!!!  There is a lot of room for creativity with Picnik!!  Try it!! Its fun!!!
That's me and my son, now three, but had just turned two in the phote.  We are on the carousel at the Marion County fair!!!

gabcast

1. Gabcast
2.It is a podcast that you can share your thoughts about anything.  Its helpful for people to have an outlet to release their feelings or to let them get their concerns out, make people aware of issues.  You create a channel through your account with password.  Call the number for the US and put in your channel number and password and follow the prompts from the automated operater. PRESS POUND KEY WHEN FINISHED WITH BLOG!!
3. Gabcast was extremely simple to set up and figure out how to use.  I made my cast and had it published within 10 minutes.
TIPS:  Make sure the background is really quite because it ends up being louder than you when you are talking in to the phone- I tried talking and my background was so loud that I ended up just changing the title of my cast to my favorite song (since that was the one on in the background at the time lol)
You can find my gabcast by going to  http://gabcast.com/index.php?a=episodes&id=31895 or go to gabcast.com and search "my favorite song" and look for channel 31895
