What a great idea. I wish I would have thought about this before someone else did. You could be set for life. I am so glad that I can now just go to this site and find all my bookmarks. I have 3 computers and for some reason I have different bookmarks on each one. This is going to make my life so much easier. This is going to be great in the classroom also. I can post all sorts of web pages for students to look at and use for practice. I think this a great resource.

This was a very interesting and fun project to do. I have never used animoto or picnik. I have used freeplaymusic before and I think it is a great site. I used picnik to edit two of my pictures that I used on my animoto video. It was very easy to use and so I made the pictures really stand out by making one a little bluer and the other one was a little brighter. Picnik was very easy to use and didn't take much time to with. Animoto was a little different. I couldn't get my educator account so I could only use the free edition that only lets me make a 30 second video. I tried contacting the company but I only got a sorry message from them. It was still very cool and easy to use but I wish I could have made a long video.

Introduction
My Name is Oscar Gonzalez. I am a Spanish teacher for 7th and 8th grade students. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I moved to Maryland when I was 3 years old. I then went to College at Barton College in North Carolina. I lived there for 6 years. I got a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Spanish. I then moved to Nebraska and got my Teaching Certificate from UNK.
I grew up surrounded by technology. My dad is a system's engeneer at NASA. He always had computers and new tech toys around the house. He even made me build a computer. Ever since then I have been using PCs. I have played with Macs but never owned one. I use computers and projectors in the classroom all the time. I'm hoping that I can get a SMART board sometime soon. I am using Office 2007 on my school computer.
I started pursueing my master's degee because I wanted a pay increase. But now that I have been working, I've been learning a lot. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about teaching. I am very happy with the amount of information that I've learned in the past year.
