This was really interesting. I'm not much of a riddle solver, but it was cool trying to figure out the different parts of a riddle. I don't like riddles at all. It basically shows children how to use their creative side of the brain and really dig deep to figure out puzzles, or riddles. I would use these probably early in the morning to get them awake and thinking. I would also make it into a game so that it wouldn't be boring to the students, and they wont hate me for making them think.

This was about making 2-D animation come to life. How you can make your pictures look very real with just moving your mouse around and playing with the different buttons to make one picture. It also talks about how it makes it easier to draw something when you just think about something that you love, or what is on your mind at the moment. I think I would have my kids do something like this for a test grade or an art project. I would also have them to tell us why they drew the picture as well, what the significance was.

Talks about different fonts and how you can create your own font. Nobody can copy this font because you made it, so it cant be copied. You can also pick and choose what font that you want to use and be creative. I would have my students make a font, and that would be their font for everything that they did. When they turn in papers, I will have them show me what font they have programmed, and they would have to keep that font until the end of the year.

This was cute I actually created one. Its a wed 2.0 that you can create like an animated person of you. It can be anything that describes you, or things that you like. It creates the graphical and creative side of the human brain. I would definitely have my kids make this in order to turn things in online. I would also use it to take roll for call everyday! They can also message or I.M me in class if they have a question and I can simply answer them.

This was really simple. All it was was building a character using your favorite animal parts. And you color in the picture to make it look more creative and better. I would use this in class by have them pick somebody in the class, ask them question about themselves, then create their picture. After that I would put them in the project wall side, and they can see their creations on the wall. They can make it as crazy, ridiculous, and wild as they wanted. The funnier the Better! I actually made one!

Talks about the different Banners, Text, or Fonts you can make. Walks you step by step to how it works, and what they would look like. Also this would teach children about themselves, on what they like and what they don't like. I would probably use this for when they need to turn something into me like a binder, they would have to make a banner of their name so I will know who did it. I would also use this for group work see which children have the same taste and who work together well.
Short Website explaining how to make a video look professional. Teaches people how to enhance certain things so it makes you feel as if you were there. It also demonstrates how stupid people can be about immature stuff that they post. I would use this as a project/ Test for my class, they would have to find a partner and make a video together. The video has to be very educational and creative.

This website shows you step by step how to cut something short and make it into a video. It shows how to take something from your favorite videos and make it all into one video. Its like YouTube, but you cant chop parts of a show up and put it in another video. I would probably make this a class assignment, the whole class had to come up with a popular show and put all the funny parts together. Then I would want them to re-enact it out.

This was really sweet! Its just like sending a cute ECARD to someone to brighten their days. It also can be used for any occasion such as; Holidays, Weddings, or birthdays. Just knowing that somebody cares about you and wants to see you smile is always a joy to have for the rest of your day. I would have my kids create 2 of this smile boxes send one to their parents or family member or maybe a student in the class. I would have them make a Holiday one as well and we would hang them up in the room to bring more spunk to it, and see how creative they could be.
10. Research- http://www.wonderhowto.com/
This was a nice informative website. It goes in to detail of anything that you need to know, it takes you step by step of what it is that you are looking for. It has videos as well to help you through the process to make it easier to locate information. I would use this for research purpose, for papers, or articles. I would also want them to make a reflection on something that they read or saw on the website.
