PE4-Toonti

This week we are to learn and become adept at another Web 2.0 tool. The Rhythm-n-Rime.com experience is being created with tools to facilitate multiple intelligence and brain-based learning while using synergy through collaboration. Therefore, I chose “Toonti” to help achieve those goals for this project and the future. Toonti is software which enables people to create powerful  social communities. It allows there to be subgroups under the Rhythm-n-Rime larger community. This will allow for each age group and subject matter to be grouped to be effective.

After selecting Toonti, it was time to set up the Rhythm-n-Rime.com social community. First, go to toonti.com to begin. You can register by signing in with a Facebook membership. Then, you must create a group which will be given a web address with .toonti.com for easy navigation. Our group name is Rhythm-n-Rime and the web address is rhythm-n-rime.toonti.com.  

Rhythm-n-Rime Toonti Opening Page

Since everyone’s needs are different,  Toonti allows each group to customize their own site. The site offers a choice of tools with each community. They offer the choice of bulletin board, featured journal, blogs, polls, Activity news, shared news, events, forums, suggestions section or a self created category.  Each site can be personalized to their intended program. We created the Rhythm-n-Rime community to include a blog, featured journals, bulletin board, photo’s section, members list, forum, Poll section, Knowledge section and What’s up section. In edit mode, I formatted each section to an applicable size and function. In my next blog I will discuss personal design, inviting members, administration controls and more.
