Tech Tool task #1: Wordle
I really enjoyed using Wordle. I have never used anything like this before and I thought it could be useful in many different situations. It was very simple to do and didn't take much technological skills to achieve which I am very thankful for. I liked how you are able to customize the font, layout, and colors so that it can be unique and personal. I don't doubt that I will be using this site again in the future.

Tech Tools Task #2: Voki
Voki was really fun and interesting site to explore. It was very easy to navigate around. I liked being able customize my own avatar and make it my own. The thing that I didn't like however was that a lot of the avatars were "graduated" meaning that you couldn't use them unless you were available to the Voki classroom or a presenter user. Also, I got a little confused as to how to post my avatars to my site and trying to find the embed code. Other than that, I found it to be a very interesting site to use.

Prezi is a website where a person is able to further their presentation skills. It is very similar to a power point yet it allows for the information to become more engaging.

This is because, it allows business people to share the Prezi presentation that they have created with potential business partners. You are able to go through each piece of information on your own time schedule that you can create. However, the limitation to this website is

Online Integrated Marketing Strategy: This prezi caught my eye because of the use of bright colors. As I went through the prezi, I'll admit, I got a little dizzy from all the spinning. However, the spinning of it was also my favorite part. The way that it traveled with the spiral of the image was really smooth and interesting. I also liked how on some of the circles, had smaller circles that panned off of each other. It made it different.
