My digital diary

As I do not use many apps, which I have to put down to my age, I will note some of the time I use my text, email and more; I will also test new apps and give my verdict on ‘will I keep using them or not’, once I have reached 15 apps I will have competed this task… (Which is a lot of apps for an old bloke)

3^rd of February

In today’s lesion I needed to look at my own digital apps, I used Email, Text, Titter and Face book

keep twitter, face book, text and email as these I already use…

4^th of February

Today was mainly texting, I did post on face book but that was personal stuff that doesn’t need to be shown, the rest of the day was mainly editing college work.

5^th of February

I tried to work out what I need to look at in the future, so using different websites I have made a list of apps I will look at over the period of my dairy:

Today is Virmeo, this is an online video sharing, and all the videos seam very professional made and is ok to pass a bit of time. Not really up my street.

Also email and texted and Face Book

6^th of February

Today was mainly face book and website research for college work

 

7^th of February

Just texting to day, also look at Instagram which is a picture sharing site, I found this quite pointless, but a lot of people I know were using it, I even found an old boss on it! Once again not something I can think I will continue using.

8^th & 9^th Weekend just Texting and face Book.

10^th of February

Tried out sending tweets today, not really into using twitter, as I don’t feel like you get much of a conversation using very little words.

 
 Also texted to day (personal so can not show)

11^th of February

Looked at You Tub, I have an account and have a number of old video work I have done on their but have not looked at it for a long time. I used to like you tub a lot, not I only use it to research movies.

One of my college videos for last month, made phone calls but not text but used face book

12^th of February

Lots of text today due to a event I was organizing for Metro radio, I also face booked the picture l a picture of my girls working on their computers.

metro radio helicopter shoot over a school with the students spelling out thank you for missing thank you for Cash for kids.

13^th of February

Posted on face book the photos from yesterdays shoot. And sent a message on twitter to get more photos and a video I needed from xmas

Texted as normal

14^th of February

Face booked a photo of my two girls riding their bike together to school for the first time and that I had gotten the job of starting the London marathon again this year for the 6^th year in a row.

 

Texted and email, also used websites to look up travel arrangements for London in April.

15^th & 16^th is the weekend

17^th to 23^rd of February

Is was half term and I was away so I did not keep a dairy, but the major communication I did this week was face book a photo of me, my girls and my farther that I have not seen since I was two years old. This was taken the day after our first meeting in his house in Wakefield

After this part of the college course I started to do work experience so did not keep a full dairy, but did do different tasks to help me look at different types of media that was available:

24^th of February

Tonight I will be using radio communication as I broadcast live on radio south Tyneside

1^st of March

Today I spent 30 minutes working out how to use Skype with my kids. It was very easy to set up and fun too. My kids now have it installed on their tablets so they can contact they course and ants

2^nd of March

Today I used a application that lets me contact my kids safely on their tablets, it also let you send pictures, voice mail and more. The good thing about this app is that it also let you send hand written messages on the screen. It is called kids connect

8^th of March

Today I got time to look at what on line graphics programs and image crater are available on-line. By using a program called http://www.morphthing.com, I was able to build my own aviator for my website. It is animated as well, the eyes and mouth move.

This was very easy to do, you uploaded a picture, tagged the areas that you wanted to move like the mouth and the eyes and the program did the rest. fun, quick but not the best results.

29^th of March

Having kids a lot of the apps I have had to down load and look at since I got my kids tablets are Disney based, the flavor of the week is anything to do with the movie frozen. This app lets you create scenes and picture of the movie as backdrops to your screens.

9^th of March

Spent today updating my Linked in site, this is a business forum and membership site that allows you to connect with other business type people, they can endorse you and pass on information. You can also look for jobs and companys across the globe.

7^th of April

Up-dated my website adding a new page, I use the site one.com as a host and an online editor. I used to use front page but I found this to limiting and the efforts always look unprofessional.

 I have hit my 15 app target. due to work load i am unable to keep up with more posts at this time, but if you feel i need more please let me know

This is a link to my website -

My college website:            http://jordyuk0.wix.com/college

My HTML pages/ source code:

this is what it looks like live on the website - 

this is what it looks like as a source code:

This shows you’re the sub-folders used to store the fonts, images, scripts and style I used with in the website.

what i did to create my website using wix.com

Building my website:

My website was made on an Internet based wix.com. This is a template style FTTP website builder with a on-line editor that allows you to insert and move pictures, text and more to create your website.

First thing I did was design and look at what I wanted my website to look like. Once this was done I was able to start building and adding the content needed to build the site with the information needed.

Picture and the main body of the work was taken from the college website by copy and past, this was then edited down to the parts I needed.

Once the body and pages were arranged in the style and order I had designed, I then added hyperlinks, these can be done with in the edit program and link the pages to the buttons with in the sites pages.

This possess was very fast and easy to do and took no real training to do.
