MixBook
For my final Emergent Technology, I used MixBook. MixBook is an amazing technology that allows you to create an online scrapbook. You can upload photos, choose from various layouts and backgrounds, and also add stickers. I found this technology extremely user-friendly! I personally enjoyed picking some of the theme pages, but also had fun making some of my pages from scratch. I really liked how I had the option of deciding how EXACTLY I wanted my pages to look. I know I will be using MixBook in the future for personal use, and I also believe it could come in handy when I begin teaching. For example, I could use MixBook to create an online scrapbook with my students. The students and their parents could then go online to look at it. I am sure the students would enjoy the many different colors, designs, and stickers that are available to choose from. MixBook was a lot of fun to experiment with, and I look forward to using it again. My advice to future users of the technology, is to FREQUENTLY save your work! A few times, something went wrong with my computer, and I had to start the page I was working on all over. So to be safe, save constantly!
