BP2_iGoogleScreenShots

This is my Home tab I created this tab at the start of my education journey towards my masters degree in EMDT. In this tab I have Facebook, Twitter, My Listy, Gmail, and other personal gadgets form my use only. Over then next years I will update and change things arounds, maybe add or take stuff out and just change the whole looks of it.


My FSO tab is what I use for logging in to my dashboard, and also wimba session, I also have links to help me with my writing, and also APA help, I also have My Listy, and Linkedin. I am getting used to working with My Listy because I'm the kind of person that doesn't write things down, I just remember them in my head. Linkedin is very, very new to me, I have never heard of this until this class, so I am interested to see what this gadget can do.


AR/CBL tab is going to be very useful to me because it will be the tab I will go back to everyday, so I can get my Action Research project done, in this tab I have AR links, My listy, and also Diigo, which is another gadget that I have never used before, but this tab will grow as time goes on, and I will make sure that is tab is up to date with my current project.


ECT tab is a tab that is for this class but, as I was adding gadgets to this tab I will be using this tab more and more because I have in this tab, Google Docs, Google Reader, Blogger, My Listy, ECT Links, and Flickr. I don't know about My Listy or Flicker but, I and going to be using the rest of the gadgets very often for team projects, and also or personal uses.

BP1_Google Reader


What I chose to follow on my Google reader are five websites each of them dealing with certain image editing software or tutorials. Here are descriptions of all five of them:

3Dtotal: This web site is a C.G. artists homepage, here artists from all over the world, both amateur and professional can post their work and also here artists can get tips from each other on how to do certain things, also this website has a store were you can purchase tutorials either on eBook, DVDs, downloadable videos, or even magazines to help you in your field of work.

MrCad: This website is great if you need help with you project, here this site you can get free downloadable files for any 3D software such as 3DS Max, Maya, or even Mudbox. This site also give you some tutorials on how to do certain thing from other people so this site is a peer to peer help site that everyone can help everyone else.

Eat3D: This website is great to buy tutorials on DVDs, because here you can buy tutorials from Unreal to 3DS Max, all on high quality DVDs. This site also has a discussion forum where everyone can discuss about anything, even help each other if needed to.

Photoshop Support: This site deals with nothing but Photoshop; it contains everything from events to product updates, to even tutorials. So this site is good if you are a hardcore Photoshop user.

Video Copilot: this site is one of my favorites because, I have worked with Adobe After Effects, and this site deals with pure After Effects. The site has tutorials that you can buy, also free tutorials that you can download and fallow, it even had products, which you can buy, that have videos and even certain filters, which is necessary to make certain effects happen. If you are into video editing then in my opinion Adobe After Effect is good software to use.
