Thing # 6

I really liked two sites from the Web 2.0 list. The first was Colorblender. This site allows users to create colors by editing the amount of red, green, and blue the color has. Once you have gotten the color you want you see it along with several other colors that go along with it. The html codes for each of the colors are listed below the pictures of the colors so that anyone could add them to html code on any website that they put together. I think that this site would be highly beneficial to anyone wanting to have a website and a certain color scheme but who does not necessarily have an extensive background in writing html code. http://colorblender.com/

The second website I liked was Swivel. This is a site that allows users to view graphs on a variety of subjects as well as uploading their own data to create graphs and charts. I believe that this site would be best used in a classroom setting to help students understand how charts and graphs are created and allow them to interact and comment on each other's graphs. They would also be able to use these graphs to supplement reports and presentations. http://www.swivel.com/
