Photo Editing and Collages


1. PicMonkey - PicMonkey was my favorite website that I used to edit my pictures. The layout was great and really easy to use and even someone who is not tech savvy whatsoever could have used it easily.
2. iPiccy - iPiccy was an alright website, I would not use it again but there was worse. They layout wasn't my favorite and it was kind of confusing to use.
3. Picadilo - Picadilo was my least favorite website and I liked little to nothing about it. The picture quality came out terrible and the tools were mediocre at best.
4. Pixlr - Pixlr was very cool and very modern, the website template was fancy and the tools were top notch. I enjoyed using Pixlr a lot.
5. BeFunky - BeFunky was nothing special but it was a very good website and all of my pictures from there turned out really cool.
6. Fotor - Fotor was a lot like PicMonkey and I liked using it a lot, it was very easy and fun to use.

Poaching Pop-Up Book


ZooBurst is a fun Web 2.0 tool used to create children stories in an online pop-up book type fashion. I used ZooBurst to create a children's story to inform our youth why poaching is so bad and that they can get an interest early on the topic. I hope that my story is enjoyable and well crafted.

Poaching Glog


Glogster is a Web 2.0 tool used to create digital posters for teachers and students access. I used it to create a poster about my global issues topic 'Poaching'. I hope it is used to inform people who know little to nothing about poaching a little more about the topic.

Poaching Video


Animoto is a website that lets you create cool videos using pictures and you can write in little paragraphs. This website is used in many different ways, in my case I used it to help people get interested and try to inform people about the Poaching going on around the world. I really like this tool and it looks very professional, I will indeed be using it again.

Poaching Survey Analysis

Poaching Survey Analysis

In my survey poll about Poaching, I asked many general questions and I also asked in depth questions about my topic. A variety of ages and genders took my survey and that makes for interesting results. For my analysis I am going to group the 14 and 15 year olds together and the 16 and 17 year old in the other group. One of the many questions I asked was “Do you think that poaching is a serious issue?” In the first group (14 and 15 year olds) four of the seven agreed with me and said that it was a serious issue and three of them disagreed. In the second group (16 and 17 year olds) 10 of the 13 said that poaching was important and 3 said it was not. The older the age the more informed and the more important poaching was to them. As I kept looking, the trend kept continuing, the older the survey taker the more informed they were.
