Books and Reading: Topic 8
The site I used is Good reads. It is a site where you can find books you've read and rate them or book you haven't read but want to read and put them in a list.
one of the difficult parts would be if you don't see the book you're looking for and don't remember the name or forgot how to spell it :(
I would have used Shelfari but is wouldn't work and the other one looked weird, plus i had already made an account on this one so I just used it.
you can use this in school by organizing books for class or buy the book you need.

Documents & Presentations: Topic 7
google drive can be helpful and you could easily organize your school work if you have multiple documents and you don't have to worry about saving because it does it fore you.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eEfP-XdGUKneBFrSFFLz8S6glA37KR_DFJsz12vZ87w
this is a google docs thing I made that is a timeline of the Leviathan book
next is a thing called WebTools4u2use which has a lot of tools that you can use to help with presenting things. the one I used was Magnoto and I created this http://stuckinfandoms.magnoto.com I find this tool easy to use and it's pretty straight forward. If you need to organize some photos this could help. Its different then power point because it's all on one thing though and I would only use it for organizing where to put photos.
the next thing is from Glogster and I created this glogster.com/ It's easy to use and all you have to do is type in a topic and it will give you many pictures to choose from on that subject. This could possibly be used if you're having trouble finding a picture you need for a project.

Creating Animations and Videos : Topic 6
http://animoto.com/
I used animoto to make this small video thing. I hope you enjoy!
I chose animoto because it was the easiest and most fun out of the choices. I was able to actually do it on a subject I wanted to when the others would only give me pre-made models that I had no idea what to do with! so this was a lot of fun for me :)

Creating Your Own Images: Topic 5
For this post I used these two websites
ImageChef for the first one
and
Big Huge Labs for the second one.

It's fun to use these things because there's a lot to experiment with.

Photos, Images & Giving Credit: Topic 4
Does copyright last forever? No it does not. Copyright lasts for 70 years after the item in question is published, though it used to be only 14.
what if you want to use something that could be copyrighted before it becomes legal? you would either have to pay the one who made the thing in the first place or ask permission to use it. you can't change the original too much and you must put a link to the original.

- What is a Creative Commons license and why is it important for us? It helps find pictures that are not copyrighted so that we don't accidentally break the law.
this is a picture showing two of the fabricated animals that can be found on the Leviathan and they are used to fight off clanker attacks.
this is a map of Europe in the book "Leviathan" it shows who the Clankers and Darwenests are
