I decided to Viewbook to display my pictures because it had a longer free trial than all the others haha :) Holy cow i just made a connection... i bet there's some relation between viewbook and facebook! Viewbook is used to create your own webpage that displays photos that you upload. You create albums on your webpages with the photos uploaded. THen you can make comments or captions for the photos. With your website you can create multiple separate pages. One option is the colletion layout where you can upload likee 8 albums onto one site. Then you have a text layout where you can chose one specific picture and tell a story about what happpened. The last is an album page, where you can display one album you create and thumbnails runs a top the top of the page. You can personalize viewbook by adding your titles and changing colors. The only down side that i see is the monthly payment. I would love this website to kepp in touch with long distance family and friends. It is also private. You chose who wants to see unlike facebook. I would lover for you guys to take a look a mine though :)
When i created my viewbook first i just started messing around on my own and noticed i didn't know what in the heck i was doing. Luckily the provide video tutorials to instruct you through the basics of viewbook. They have other tutorials for all the bells and whistles. When you are uploading photos i would recommend doing a few at a time, or doing them all at once and while you work on something else because it takes a long while for them to load! I also recommend changing the color and making the page your own. They allow you to change from all different shades which can give insight to who you are. Also if you are uploading a single album i would chose the album only site. I had a single album to upload but i chose the collection site because i didn't know what i was doing haha. I hope you check out viewbook and share it with your friends because its a great site!
my site link won't show up! but here's my site.. http://reasollm.viewbook.com/

I will have to try viewbook out. I never even thought about it when he posted the photo assignement. I just went off the list of what Prof. Heck gave. Awesome description of the product and how it uses tutorials.
ReplyDeleteGreat description! Loved your slideshow. Do you think you will pay to continue your subscription?
ReplyDeleteIm so glad to see someone that didnt do PhotoShow. hehe. After I turned mine in I started to notice that me and half the class did the same assignment. Im definetly going to have to check this one out! Great description!
ReplyDeleteGood call on deciding to use something other than Photo Show. I myself used photo show and it only came with a 30 day trial. I should have looked into the other programs but I decided to pick at random and decided to use Photo Show. I may have to use View Book in the future.
ReplyDeletecool slide show. After reading your post I think I could have used that. I'd be curious as to what kind of things Viewbook would add to your classroom. P.S. Picasa is 100% free, I'd recommend that to anyone who wants to keep their photos online and not worry about trial periods.
ReplyDeleteI never had heard of viewbook before! Great idea to use that one. I, like most chose photoshow, and liked it a lot. I will definitely check this one out though!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this site. I'm definitely going to have to try it out!
