Week 6: Media Tools & Hosting

YOUTUBE: 
I have used YouTube in one class before to make and post a video. I was familiar with creating a channel and sharing it with a community. What will be interesting later on in the class is making the video, I'm sure the way I made one before will be very different than we will be making them in this course.

TWISTED WAVE:
This was a new tool to me. I found it to be very cool. I like that you can make a sound recording without having to have a video as well. I personally do not like having a video of myself, so this was easier for me. It's also cool because if you have friends that are out of town it is a nice way to re-connect, to send them a voice recording rather than a generic text message.

PICTURE ALBUM ON GOOGLE+:
This was a hard task for me only because I have too many pictures to choose from! But I was sure that the Google+ community didn't want to see four million pictures of my cats:

Again, this is a nice way to keep in touch and see what people are up to on the Google+ community. It's a nice alternative to Facebook or other social media sites.

OVERALL:
This week was difficult for me (personal-wise, with the flu) but the actual work was pretty informative and I will definitely be using these tools learned outside of our coursework.
