Sad Day

Well folks, it's a sad day in Firefox users eyes.  The amazing freeware Xmarks will be shutting down in January 2011 due to monetary issues.  This was by far the best bookmark sync program I have found besides Diigo. 

You can read more about the reasons here.


If you would like alternatives to your Xmarks check this link out or see below.

Please look into these new suggestions that come from the Xmarks site.  Good Luck!

Mixing made easy

I know there are a ton of sites out there used for downloading free music to put in your podcasts or to use for free in your movies, but how many of them can you choose your music?  Here you can! 

 The website is called MYBYTES.  This site lets you sign in, add the beats and instruments that are pre-loaded, to create your own funky music.

 

All the beats and instruments are found in the picture above under the "loop browser".  Pick the ones you want to use and drag them up to the grid.  The key is to keep your beats and music separate.  So if you start in line 1 using all the base beats keep it that way.  **Notice also that when you put something in the line it labels it for you.

 

Create a log in name to save your music to use over and over again!  Click here to go to MYBYTES.

ENJOY!!!

Web Quests!

Well many of you may have heard of these online lessons, well I have a site that will blow you away!  This site is called Zunal WebQuest Maker.  Here you can make, save, publish, and share TONS of different WebQuests. 

Below is a list of all the different kinds of lessons and grade levels.  I highly suggest you take a look at the great lessons here.

 

Their easy to navigate site makes it easy once you are in the WebQuest.  Each lesson is set up exactly the same so there is no guessing needed.

Take a look and let me know what you think!  I want to give a special thanks to Ms. Kassinger from CVSCS for showing me this awesome site!  The link to the website is here.
