Thing 8: Slide show created on Zoho Show

The slide show is at the bottom of the page. I created it in Zoho which was very simple and straight forward because I have used Microsoft Powerpoint and it works the same way. It is an excellent idea to be able to create a presentation right on the Internet so there is no fear of losing it or not being able to show the presentation on a foreign computer.

I will continue to instruct students on Microsoft Powerpoint but will definitely show them the options of Zoho, Thumbstacks and Slideshare so they can use them at home where their Internet access may be more reliable and consistent.

Creating trading cards through bighugelabs is extremely easy. The biggest hurdle is having the image. From there on it is easy as can be.

Thing 5: Flickr Fun

I tried picnik to crop and take the re-eye out of this picture. It was very easy to use, although I would rather make the adjustments privately IF i could. Having this service online makes it available from any computer.

I find that I am not very comfortable with making things open to the public. I am okay with others seeing my mistakes, especially if I can't figure out how to correct them! I think it has more to do with ... boundaries, and the increasing lack of them. I don't feel a need for anyone and everyone to be able to read my ideas and musings, just like I don't need complete strangers to overhear my cell phone calls.

The open access to whatever is posted on the internet makes me uncomfortable because of this blurring of boundaries.
