Web-based Publishing
Web-Based Publishing
Web-based desktop publishing allows us to write and save our documents on the Internet rather than leaving them on a computer or depending on a thumb drive to carry them around. Perks include having all documents available at any computer. Negatives include lack of availability if the Internet goes down. Some web-based publishing sites are ZOHO and Google Docs.
Assignment:
Log in to GOOGLE DOCS.
Assignment:
The first of your four book trailers will be created using Google Presentation. See the Book Talk with Mrs. Bender blog for an example and click HERE for expectations.
If you want to work offline but store the same work on different computers, you may want to download (you have to download it on to each computer) and then create an account on DROPBOX. It will save your information to a server, and then when you log on to each Dropbox on each computer, your work will be there. You can store PDF's as well as photographs there. This is good for people who do not want to carry around a flash drive all day long.
Weblogs
Weblogs, or blogs, are online journals, like the one you are reading now. Anyone can write one, and there are many free blog sites like BLOGGER, LIVEJOURNAL, and WORDPRESS. There are even special blogs just for KIDS!
