The End

Well it has taken a lot longer than I expected to complete all of these tasks, I have found working on them at work to be very hard and you don't get enough time and many distractions to complete the tasks, so I try to do them at home but of course you have to juggle family time as well. I have also found that it is not that well instructed for some people, more directions and information would have been more beneficial.

Some of the tasks were very useful, eg. simply being able to create a blog, using flickr and generally having some fun. I don't know how much of it I will retain as doing it once over such a long time doesn't work well for me. Anyway it was a good learning experience and well done to all of those out there who managed to win prizes along the way, I'm sure it was a great incentive.

podcasts and Audio Books

Well it has been a long time since I have made an entry into my blog, I started working on podcasts several weeks ago but ran into a bit of trouble trying to add it to my blog and then I went away for a holiday and now am trying to get all of the outstanding tasks complete. I have managed to add a link for Island records for those who are interested in finding out about their favourite singers.

I have also that a look at the audio books and found it very interesting, it is a very useful tool to have access to, it means people who are not mobile are able to access these audio books at the click of a mouse and not having to go out to the library all the time. I personally prefer to read a book but maybe when I am old and my eye sight is not so good, audio books would be the way to go.

You Tube

I placed the music clip of Pink "Dear Mr President" a while ago. This is a very controversial song but I seem to be listening to this cd in my car at the moment, I must be having a mid-life crisis or something!!!! It is funny how we seem to have "favourites" at a certain time and then never listen to them again.

WEB 2.0 Awards

I have been looking at the comments about the Winners of the Web 2.0 Awards. I found this very interesting especially reading some of the comments, the information that it written in here is very informative. Obviously it is up to the individual and their opinions, which means that not all the comments are favourable but at least it gives up information (whether good or bad) before you experience it for yourself.

ZOHO Writer

Well its been a while since I have written anything in my blog, I wonder if it is because I am busy or !!!!!!!.

I created my signin for ZOHO last week but am now finally going to write about it. This is a very interesting concept. I can see that it would be very advantagous to the "business user" or "cyber user", basically someone who travels alot and has access to the internet, so that they can input and retrieve data at the click of a button.

Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki

I have been having a play with Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki and found it a little confusing at first. I have finally got to the editing screen where I need to add my blog name to the bottom but are unable as this page is currently locked by another user, so I will have to try and a little later on.

Well I finally managed to get in and add my blogger name under Brimbank Libraries. I found it a bit of a misson but once I did it, it was pretty straight forward, I think the instructions about putting the brackets around the url caused the main problem because I used the insert url option.

Wiki's

I think I am on a bit of a roll again trying to get thru all of this wonderful information that we are learning.

The next task is Wiki's, from playing around and reading the other comments made about this feature, there are alot of benefits to it but there are also some disadvantages. The one main disadvantage is that they are able to be editted, that is good if the correct information is being put in but not so good if the wrong information is being added or entered as this give people incorrect resources.
