Google Maps

Google Maps is a great tool than is available to everyone.  You can use this on either a computer, iPad, or any smart phone.  In my opinion google maps is just as good, if not better than any GPS.  For example I searched directions from Abilene, KS to Miami Beach, FL and it gave me 3 routes to get there, how much time it would take to reach destination, and how many miles it would be.  It also has the option to print directions by the map or by the written out directions.  A cool thing about google maps is that you can get directions not only by driving but also by bus, bike or walking.  At the bottom of the screen an ad will pop up that has places to stay in Florida which would be helpful to anyone who is not sure of where they are staying or where they should stay.

Personas

Personas are a fun and unique background to add to your web browser.  I personally think that this makes your web browser more appealing.  There are many different persona backgrounds to choose from.  They are called "skins" which is why when you choose them it gives you the choice to "wear it".  If you wear it that means that it will be automatically added to your firefox web browser.  You also have the option to save some of your favorite persons, so when you want to change them you don't have to take a long time to find the right one.

Favicon

A favicon is an icon that represents a blog by the picture that shows up to the left of the URL.  You can create your own favicon, or upload a picture to use as your favicon.  If you decide to do this it gives your blog a little bit more uniqueness. I think having a favicon makes your blog look more advanced that others.  If you create a favicon account you can create many different favicons and also save them.  Click here to create your own favicon.

Google Doodles

Google Doodles are tittles that are above the search bar on the google website.  They are changed often depending on if that day is a special day.  Normally if they are celebrating a holiday the doodle has the same theme as the special day.  You can play games on some of the doodles.  For example you can play basketball, soccer or PAC-Man.   Click here to play Soccer doodle.  If you are interested in making your own doodle there is a contest that you can enter in to win money and scholarships for your school.  There are jobs out there that all they do is create doodles and working for google has many good benefits  Click here if interested in entering in the contest.

Feedjit

The feedjit is a fun tool that you can add to your blog.  This helps you see the traffic on your blog, who has viewed it, when they viewed it, and how they got there.  I have a feedjit and I think it's interesting to see who has looked at your blog.  On top of that, having this on your blog adds a little fun to it, so your blog doesn't look so boring.  I personally, would recommend getting feedjit for your blog.

App Google Drive vs. Computer Google Drive

Google drive on the iPad and Google Drive on the computer are similar in many ways.  In fact there are very few ways that they are different.  I believe it is a lot easier to chat on the google drive on the computer than on the iPad because it's easier to type on a keyboard than on an iPad screen.  If you wanted to you could search other things and go back easily, but if you were searching other things on the app you would have to leave the app and go back.  I personally prefer the Google Drive website over the app, but these are both very good tools to keep you organized.

Google Drive

Google Drive is a place where you can store documents that you may need later.  You can make a spreadsheet private or you can share it will other people.  For example, if you have a project that needs to be done but, you and your partner can't find a time to get together you can both edit it at one time.  All you have to do is send your partner a quick e-mail and it is easy after that. You can make a document, presentation or spreadsheet.  Google Drive can do anything that keynote, excel, number, and pages can do without having to install them for just one thing. 

Animated Text

Flash Vortex
Flash vortex has more options of back grounds than Glow text.  On Flash Vortex you can not only make text but also clocks & banner like the ones on my blog.  This website will keep you busy for a while.  This blog gives you more options of things to do all around.  I personally prefer this website over Glow Text.

  Glow Text
This animated text websites give you the ability to have your text glow, but the background can not.  You can only make web banners with this animated text website.
