1) Google Drive is a great tool for students to use for schoolwork. Google Drive is a cloud service service which can store things like documents, photos and videos. The main reason I use Google Drive is because of Google Docs. If you have ever used Microsoft Word then you will have no problems using Google Docs. Creating and working on documents with Google Docs has some cool features that Microsoft Word does not have. Since Google Docs is a part of the cloud service Google Drive it allows you to have multiple users working on the same document at the same time which means it will be a lot easier for partners in classes to work on shared assignments together without having to deal with emailing each other their documents to combine their work. Another great feature is its auto save feature. The document you work on automatically saves after every change you make and you continue to work as it saves itself. Ever forget to save your documents? Well even if you close your document Google Drive will save it exactly where you left off. Here is a link to my book timeline in my Google Drive.
2) The web tool I decided to review is called Soundcloud. Soundcloud is a online audio platform where users can discover and share their favorite type of music to anyone. For artists and music producers Soundcloud is ideal for uploading, recording and promoting your original tracks. Soundcloud supports any format and and size for audio tracks including recorded live sets and concerts which can range from 1 to 2 hours long. Although Soundcloud contains millions of diverse music it also supports audiobooks, podcasts, and multiple topic discussions. Another audio platform that is similar to Soundcloud is called Spotify. Although I would not recommend this over Soundcloud simply because it is digital rights management-restricted content from record labels which means it does not heavily support local artist and music producers and there are ads unless you pay premium. Follow me on Soundcloud.
3) Here is my Glogster which is all about electronic music.
Soundcloud sounds like a cool program! If I ever made music I would definitely look into it!
ReplyDeleteNice information but i wish you embedded your glog into you blog just so it would flow a little better and have all your writing the same color.
ReplyDeleteI cannot get to your book timeline. You need to share it with anyone with the link. I found your comments on Spotify thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteI like how well you described Sound cloud. It sounds super interesting and I want to look more into it. I agree that auto save is a great feature of Google Docs, it has saved me on multiple occasions.
