Class May 17, 2011

We looked at three Web 2.0 tools in this class.

Julia Martinez presented a comic creation tool called Toondoo. The tool allows you to create anything from a comic book to a comic strip with different layouts, backgrounds, characters and thought bubbles. This is the Toondoo link.

Kevin showed us how to use a lot of Google Calendar features. It is a great tool to use for business and school. This is Google Calendar.

Finally, Amy showed us Udutu. This is a really multidimensional program that allows you to run complete training programs with Web 2.0 tools embedded into the program. We looked at three samples and were able to get an idea of how sophisticated the program could be. This is the sample used by the National Parks Conservation Association, Eco Mariner. The link for Udutu. I found the program to be a little bit complicated and it took me a while to produce a product. With practice you should be able to create a self-contained course on a specific subject.
