Eight Wonder Multimedia Tools

Delicious List

What is a Delicious list? Well a delicious list is a multimedia tool that I enjoy using since I was first exposed to this tool. This multimedia tool is a great way of storing important URL address or website that you can reach from a push of a button, not only can your store addresses of website, you can also keep them organized. You can bundle them according to the type of information or type of reference that they contain. You can also share your delicious list with other people and vise versa. Truly this one must have multimedia tool. This multimedia tool is a five star.



FireFox

Before I got into Dr. J Cyrus class I was use the Explore as my main web surfing browsers, but after learning about different types of browsers I find that I like using Firefox as my main browsers. Firefox might be a little slower than the explore, but it gives me a much better protection in the Internet. Firefox may not have the eye getter like other browsers, but it is fast but also somewhat safe in accessing website then other browsers. It deletes or should I say filters the website you are entering and that to me is great. The rating for this tool is 4 and ½ stars.



Moodle
I really do not know much about moodle, only that it is a course management system that helps educators develop or create an effective online course. It is just like the one used by the ED451 and Ed481 Course. It can be access through the Internet, so that you can see the schedule of up coming class projects, assignments, and what will be the topic of the lesson for that day.



Google Application


Google application is a multimedia tool that messaging and collaboration to help business in moving everything smoothly and accordingly. Google application helps employees through easy access through gmail that an employee can get information from documents, google video, or google site. Not only can you keep in touch with your employee or your employer, you can also store documents in this Internet tool. This multimedia tool is 4 stars.


Slide Share

Every since I was introduce to Power Point tool I thought that this tool was the bomb, but being exposed to the Slide Share tool every thing has changed. This multimedia tool is one outstanding tool the Internet has to offer. Depending on your creativity skill, you can prepare a presentation that is very extravagant to a presentation that meets the audience expectation. Your presentation can be use for entertainment or use to inform the audience. I dive this multimedia tool a 5 star rating.



Open Office

Micro Soft Office and Open Office are almost or so what a like type of multimedia tools. They both offer micro soft word, excel, power point, and micro soft documents. Open Office offers more option than micro soft office, option like text documents, formula, and drawing, not only does open office offer more option they can be access through the Internet. This option makes it a lot easier create documents and this tool is free. This tool is defiantly a 5 out 5 stars.



Tok Box

One of my favorite multimedia tools is Tok Box. This multimedia tool is a very useful tool for everyone including teachers. The option or the program you can use it for is almost unlimited. You can use this tool to create a special card for that special someone, you can also use it to give a audio and visual presentation, and if you’re a teacher you can create a lesson to act as a one to one teaching for a special need student.
Not only can you use this multimedia tool to create activities, you can also send it through the Internet without going through mail just select the option and click and send.
I rate this a strong 5 stars.



Text-To-Speech

My opinion is that Text-To-Speech is geared more for teachers and students. This multimedia tool can help teachers create and activity to help reinforce or improve a student grammar skills. This multimedia tool can act as a one to one aid for a student who is having problems or difficulty pronouncing a word or reading a sentence. All the students have to do is to click and listen to the word or listen to the sentence. Being a teacher this tool is defiantly a 5 star.
