Mural.ly

http://beta.mural.ly/

Steps: 
1. I went to the website and logged in with Twitter. I clicked what type of Mural I wanted and watched the video that showed me how to drag links, pictures, and videos to the Mural. 
2. To add pictures to your Mural, you click your image and drag it to the tab that says Mural.ly. To make the image larger you click the arrow. To move it around you can drag it. 
3. To add links to your Mural, you go to the link you want to add, click the white paper sheet button beside the link, and drag it to the tap that says Mural.ly. When you release the link, it will turn into a picture of the website. 
4. You can click on the ready-made textboxes to write information. To change the color of your text you click the plus button, which gives many options that differ depending on whether you clicking it for a textbook, link, or picture.  To change the color you click edit, and color, size, and other editing options will appear. 
5. If you want to drag multiple link, pictures, or information to your Mural you just click and hold the Ctrl button. 
6. To the side of the Mural there is a tool bar that gives background options, stickers, textboxes, shapes, and more. 
7. If you wish to delete and object, you click the plus button and an option to delete shows up. 
8. When you are finished you can take a picture of your Mural by clicking the button beside the M on the top left hand corner. 



Above is a picture of the Mural I made! It includes pictures, textboxes, stickers, and links. 

     I think this is a great tool for other students! It's like on online poster, (I would compare it to Glogster) and if any student ever had a project this would be a great tool! They could fill it with information while adding visual images and links with even more information. It would be great for presenting, or if you just want a creative way of doing your homework! I would recommend this tool to anyone because it's very easy and quick to learn about.
