GoPro SWOT analysis

GoPro
GoPro is a company that makes weatherproof durable cameras with mounts that give the user and anyone who views footage from the camera a very unique perspective. It’s unique because of the fact that is from the perspective of the person filming you’re viewing it like a memory. GoPro offers a vast array of mounts to help film any situation, sport or activity.  With the GoPro we can all view the amazing feats of humans around the world like never before.
Strengths to this product are endless, but some are the fact that almost any activity can be recorded due to the fact that GoPro never stops thinking of different angles and ways to capture exciting new video. This product is also very useful when trying to show people how cool your sport or hobby can truly be
Some weaknesses to this product can be the price or the set up. These weatherproof mounts plus the camera in addition to any accessories you may need can be costly. Also a helmet mount could be difficult to assemble and mount on to the helmet.
With a great product such as this there are so many opportunities for this product. I believe in the near future this product will be easily accessible and very easy to use. As the technology advances I see potential for the GoPro to be used for everyday things.
Some threats for this product are the limits of the people using it. As more and more people use this they may want to attempt more dangerous stunts in the pursuit of awesome footage. Other than that I see no threats.

Photoshop Picture Edit


In class we have been working with Photoshop an advanced photo editing software that allows you to edit, crop and change photos in hundreds of ways and different combinations to create or change a picture anyway you like. In the picture above I isolated the pepper and made it color while I made the background black & white.

Photo Editing Sites

In class today we edited many pictures on five free photo sites to change the way they look and edit them to how ever you want them to look.

Pic Monkey is a photo editing website that allows you to edit a photo to make it look very professional or very artsy. It is mostly free some features require a membership, but other than that no sign up required. This is a very cool site.

Pixlr is a free website very similar to Microsoft paint but more advanced with more features. It is not as easy as Pic Monkey to use but once you get the hang of it you will be able to edit a photo the way you like. I would recommend this site for photo editors with some experience.

Befunky is a more simplified Pic Monkey and is very easy to use. If you are just starting to edit photos then use this site to get started and to help you along. This website is free and requires no sign up but and upgrade feature is available if you want to pay for more features.

Pizap is a fun free photo site that let's you combine some of Photoshop with filters and an added bonus of a meme maker to make funny posters of your friends and colleagues. This website is extremely easy to use but it doesn't have as many features as Pic Monkey or Befunky.

Fotor is a free photo editing website that is more complex than the other websites. It has a different layout and is

Web 2.0 Tools



Flash Card Machine is a free website that allows you to easily create and study from flash cards you created.  In addition to flash cards you make you can search subject and grade to find thousands of other flash card sets that will help you study. This is a great tool for a very busy student who maybe doesn't have time to sit down and write it out or make flash cards at all. Like I mentioned earlier it is free but donations are accepted. The sign up is easy and this is a website that I will use in the future.
