Research on Pageflakes

well a flake is a application that you drag onto your page to personalise it. some flakes i've got are a mini blog, word of the day, sticky note and horoscope. here is a screen shot:
some positives about pageflakes are that both Laura and I are able to login on seperate computers, we can type information up easily, it's free, it's very straight forward, there are a large number of flakes we can use to personalise and present the information and we can create different pages to organise and store the different types of information we are presenting. some things that are negative about the page is that we can't figure out how to put videos on it, we can't put the flakes anywhere we want on the page (it's all in columns and rows) and if you use the blog flake it only shows part of the information and you have to click on a button to be able to read all of the information.

according to the website a pagecast is publishing your page flake so others can see it and you can show everyone or just a private group.

we could use the pagecast in the context of this project to inform everybody and sir about the topics we are going to research.

Research for Protopage

flakes have to be columns but when you're using protopage you can change the settings so you can put the widget anywhere you want.

a widget is an application that you put on your page to make it personalised. the purpose of the tabs is to separate the different bits of information and widgets from each other. to create and edit new tabs is really easy, even i can do it without asking anyone how to do it.
Protopage could be used to help with our project because we could create a new tab for each topic and write the information in sticky notes. we are able to add photos but i haven't figured out how to add video or audio yet.

here is a screen shot:



Some positives are that it's free, there are tabs that allow us to organise the information in a menu type thing, there are different ways to type up the information, it's personalised easily, we can change the title of the tabs and sticky notes and you can add text underneath pictures to explain what it is. some negatives are that i can't figure out how to add video and when Laura and i tried to see if we can both log in at the same time Laura couldn't get on and when i tried at home i also couldn't get on so i think we have to be logged onto the computer at school using my username and password to work on the page (although I'm not positive).

The World Of Multimedia

Some examples where i use multimedia in my life are my ipod, texting, you tube, TV, mobile phone and the computer.

My ipod/itunes would be the hardest to give up because i love my music and i'm always listening to it. My life would be so boring without it.

I think the technology in the video might eventually come true but not exactly like the video. the technology in the video makes it easier to share information and to socialise however i think that it might make us dependent on it so if didn't have the technology we wouldn't be able to socialise at all.

i didn't know how to get my slide show onto the slide show website so Laura basically did it for me. she's a genius!
