I've finally finished my WebQuest! I used a different website than Dr. Erickson recommended for two reasons: 1) I started before I knew all the details 2) I found it a lot easier to navigate. The layout just made more sense to me. Zunal will allow you to create an account and one webquest free of charge. The only downside is that it support something called "text enhance" which adds links to your pages as you type, and so far I haven't been able to get rid of them. It's they way they do their advertising. So, if you see anything linked and highlighted in blue, don't click on it! It's just an add.

Mac App Creation Software
This is a very, very, very cursory glance at the technology you need to create your own app on a Mac platform. I really wanted to learn how to create my own app, but realized halfway through my Prezi that there's no way I could fit all of the information on it, and it would take me weeks of YouTube tutorials to even come close to explaining how to create an app. So, what I've come up with is basically a Prezi that tells you to download xCode4 and has some pretty pictures. I have the app images courtesy of Apple and google search.
If you've worked with Prezi before and have some tips and ideas, please don't hesitate to share!

Personal Tale 2 - April Fools
I don't know why, but my videos never want to work directly with Blogger, so the link above will take you to my YouTube account. The music is original work by my siblings' band, Grandfatherglen.
