Glogster, Animoto, and Free Choice


The experience of creating the Glogster, Animoto, and Voki (Free choice) was something I thought I couldn’t do in a million years. I was extremely afraid sitting in front of my computer (like a baby trying to walk for the first time) stopping and restarting again and again I did it, it may not be show stopping but I did it!  Over all it was a little fun if I keep working at it will get better.
