I chose to create a Photoshow. I chose to do his emergent technology because I love taking pictures. I think they're a great way to remember fun times that you've had. Photoshow is basically like an online photo album slideshow. You upload the images you would like to display and are able to personalize the slideshow. You may add music, captions, clip art, etc. to make the slideshow your very own. I found it useful because it's a great way to keep all of my pictures together and you can save it on the Photoshow website, incase your computer crashes you won't lose your pictures.
I found Photoshow to be VERY user friendly. I could see myself even using this for teaching some day, allowing the parents to see pictures of what their children are doing in the classroom. You must sign up to save a slideshow, but it's free. First, you upload the pictures of your choice from your computer. You can even take pictures straight from Photobucket or Facebook. Once you have uploaded them, there are layouts you can choose from. After you choose a layout, you may personalize your slideshow but it's not require. Even personalizing it is user friendly from the easy navigation to adding borders and captions. After you are satisfied with the slideshow, you may save it. Photoshow even allows you to post it directly to websites such as Blogger, iGoogle, etc.
Here's my example:

There really aren't many tips for this emerging technology. Patience is needed while uploading pictures because this can take some time. If you have a lot of picures in your slideshow, it may become frustrating going through each picture and adding captions. I would suggest only adding captions when necessary. Overall, I thought Photoshow was a great website! I love having all of my pictures in a slideshow and it would be perfect to use in the classroom to keep the parents updated.

Great job! This assignment was fun because we all get to look at each other and see what we all do for fun. You did a great job and I agree about the captions. It's tough enough to pick out the pictures you want and add a slogan to all of them! I thought your slideshow was very well put together.
