People Who Overcame Adversity

Jim Abbott was a baseball player who was born without a right hand. He got a fake one and was able to play but it was still very difficult.
Melissa Stockwell didn't have a left leg so she got a fake one so that she could continue running.
Jim MacLaren didn't have part of his left leg so he got a fake one too, just like Melissa.

Citation Websites

I will never use Citation Machine again! I struggled with the website and found it very difficult to navigate, but when I used EasyBib.com it was very easy to use and very quick. I liked EasyBib the most because it wasn't complicated and was really fast and still gave you good results. It was very organized and accessible. SourceAidCitationBuilder was an okay website, I didn't have that hard of a time with it and it was relatively easy to use. It wasn't as simple as EasyBib though.

3 Avatars Review

An Avatar is a visual representation created online.
You can find Avatars on websites giving instructions or on games to represent you like Halo, or even Club Penguin.
I have never used an Avatar prior to this class.
My favorite site so far was GoAnimate because I was able to make a video and have them talk and have emotions and it was really funny.

Feed Readers

I have used two Feed readers, Google Reader and Bloglines. I found both really cool but I couldn't choose which one I liked more. Google Reader was simpler to use overall, I didn't have a problem figuring out how it worked at all. However, Bloglines was more difficult for me to operate. I had a harder time understanding the simple thing that were on Google Reader, but there was more things on Bloglines. Bloglines seemed more advance than Google Reader to me over all. I liked both very much however!
