Welcome to my site! Please check out my first assignment here!

A Voki is and online character customized to you and who you are. Vokis are easy to make it only takes your insight and correct directions to complete the job. First you go to the Voki webpage (you may have to use Firefox) and make an account and guess what, its free!           

After you have made your account you go to the “Voki” tab at the top left hand corner and click it. After you have clicked it, it should pull down a bar that has the following options. Create Voki, Create Presentation, and My Voki are the options it gives you to choose so you will click the Create Voki option and it should take you to a screen that already has a random avatar on it, but you may have to install Silverlight. Don’t worry it won’t mess up your computer it just makes the Voki site compatible to your computer.

Yay you made it now you can customize your own Voki they have tons of options, but beware the items in the ‘store’ are not all assessable to non-members. If it has a small graduation cap on it that means you are not able to use that item unless you are a member. If you want you can even give your Voki a voice just clicks the ‘Done’ button under the ‘Customize your character’ and then it should show a speech bubble that says ‘Give it a voice”.           

Click that and then have fun. You can record your voice or type a whole paragraph then pick a voice for your Voki. There is also a box underneath the speech bubble that lets you have different back grounds. I used these steps for my Voki and mine turned out great!

After you are finished with making you Voki, picking a background, and giving it a voice you click the publish button at the bottom of the Voki and then you give it a name then click save. Now you can share your Voki. There are a few options of how you can share your Voki. But the best way is to click the little linked chains and then copy the link address then post it to wherever you want.

                Voki also gives you other options on how to share your avatar and it is very easy. Voki can be used for assignments or just for fun, but it definitely gets the job done. I hope you have fun making your voki! 

A Tagzedo is a picture of something but instead of the normal objects that it is made of it is made of words of your choice. I used this website to create my picture and it is so easy to use. First you go to the website http://www.tagxedo.com/. You may have to install Silverlight and or use Firefox. When you get there you click on the create button in the left hand corner.

                After you have clicked the create tab the site should take you to a screen that shows a shape made of words. First you click on the shape button and pick a shape. You can chose a shape that the site gives you or you can upload your own picture. After you have done that you can chose the colors to use and you can type words to use. After you have gotten it the way you want you click the save/share button and the site will give you many different options to share it.

Sebastian: (enters room) Dude I have the best idea!

William: We don’t care, we’re in the middle of the game. I’m winning.

Raleigh: Yeah, sure. You suck at this game.

William: Woman don’t you criticize me and my skills.

Raleigh: How many times have I told you not to call me that?

Sebastian: Stop your stupid bantering and come with me. I swear that this will be the best idea ever.

Raleigh: Of course, you would think that. It was your idea.

Sebastian: Ryan has horrid ideas all the time and he admits them.

William: But you’re not Ryan

Sebastian: Ok, if my idea turns out to be horrid then I will admit it I swear.

Grace: (enters room) What are y’all talking about in here?

Sebastian: Oh, Grace! H-Hey. You look good. I mean you look good all the t-time just you look extra good today. (blushing)

Grace: (also blushing) Thanks. You look good to.

William: Omg! Stop flirting and tell us the idea!

Grace and Sebastian: We weren’t flirting!

Raleigh: Will your so mean! Shut up!

William: I"m not mean. Your mean that's why i'm moms favorite.

Raleigh:  You only say that so you can inflate your giant ego. How can your poor body even support an ego that big?

William: My poor body? Plus my ego has nothing to do with this. 

Sebastian: And this conversation has nothing to do with the great idea waiting outside.

Grace: What’s outside?

Sebastian: If those two would quit their bickering then I could show you.

Raleigh: Whatever let’s go.

(All people follow Sebastian outside to backyard)

Sebastian: ta-da!

Grace: You do realize that the metal will rust.

(all people take in the trampoline sitting in the shallow end of the in-ground pool)

William: This is your “great” idea?

Sebastian: You need to look at it for a bit then you will see how awesome it is.

Grace: Can we jump?!

Sebastian: Duh, that’s why I brought you out here.

Grace: C’mon Rae we can go get changed then jump!

Raleigh: Are you sure. It looks fun but will it even work?

Sebastian: Umm. I haven’t tried it yet, but I guess y’all can be my critics.

William: (whispering to Sebastian) You only wanna get Grace in a bathing suit.

Sebastian: Dude, n-no me and her are only friends. This is what this day is about its to have fun with y’all.

William:Sure,whatever.

(Grace and Raleigh return in swim suits)

Grace and Raleigh: Lets jump!

 (The whole crew jumps and swims and has the best day of their lives👍)
