BP3_APPMAKR

The Tool I chose was called, "APP MAKR".  This tool shows you how to create your own APP, mainly for the IPhone and some Droid Phones.  I was intrigued by this Tool, because I've been wanting to learn how to create my own APP.


This is how the Actual Process got started.    I selected the URL that I used for the creation of the App and I also selected the type of APP I wanted to make and all of these Icons came up.



 
 The first page for APP Makr.  I selected Android for my APP.  I also selected the type of APP I wanted to create.  I created an APP for coupons.  This is where I started that process.



This was the last step for creating an APP.  The last page that I had to work on.  After going through the various tabs, I created The APP.  I had to put in information, URL name, I had to decide if I was going to sell the APP or let it be a Free APP.  I also plugged in a description of my APP.  I had the option to customize The APP.  I did not think this was the most user friendly APP.  I still can not figure out how to access my APP.  I tried to contact the HELP and Support, but I will try to figure out on my own.


The Process was not extremely simple and was not extremely difficult either.  It was just a matter of figuring out what to do when trying to access the next steps.  First I selected The Web 2.0 Tool, "APP MAKR", Then I started to read what the tool entailed.  Next, I started following the directions, and Finally I created my own App.



To Create The APP with APP MAker ; you have to select APP Makr's Web 2.0 tool. Then you have to decide what interface you will use, Iphone or Android.  I did those two things, I created my APP by inputing the necessary and required information, including my username, password, email, and URL.  I also had to give my phone number as a point of contact.  The creative part is when you customize your APP. I did not customize My App.  But I did create an app for Coupons and I came up with a catchy name for it.  The Name of my created App is, "CouponVendor".

I did like this tool because it challenged me.  It was not a tool that had everything preset, I had to do alot of the ground work for myself.

BP3_iGoogleScreenShots

I've had my IGoogle set up for awhile, but it is amazing how Today is the first time that it clicked to me, that I should really utilize this as a central page daily.  I just have to appreciate the simplicity, this will really make my life easier.  Below I will show you Screen shots from My IGoogle Experience.


FSO TABS

These tabs make it easier for me to access the FSO Platform.  I will really utilize this, I have set up tabs before on IGoogle, from now on; I will be using my tabs to help me better access my FSO emails and portal.

Home Tabs

This Screen Shot showcases my Home Tab.  You are able to see all of the Widgets, my general tabs, the Features, the box of links, facebook, twitter, and ESPN are all featured on my Home Page.This is what will be shown as a Home Page, every time I access the Internet  This is now my Portal for all of my work and the home page is where everything begins.



ETC Tabs

The ETC Tabs gives all the information about Emergent Technologies and the class.  Web 2.0 Tools, Web Guru, Tutorials, Educator Studio, and ETC Resources.  I like this tab because it is informative and it provides majority of the tools needed for this specific class.  I do not have to go from archive to archive or I don't have to go back and forth to FSO to look at these tools.  I have no choice but to be organized for The ETC class.  Especially if I utilize IGoogle and all if my tabs.
