#23 Feedback

I have found this task very time consuming and my life does not really revolve around the IT world although I realise we have to upskill our knowledge to keep up with the world as it is today.
I would much rather be out on a golf course with people around me and in the fresh air than sitting in front of a computer.

#22 E-Books

I think this is a very good tool for people that are studying as they have access to a lot of books without actually getting the hard copy out of the library but not of interest to me who would rather have a book I can sit down with and read.
It also gives a huge variety of choice for people to access.

Podcasts

I had no clue what a podcast was.
I am not particularly interested in what it was but I did manage to add RSS feed on to my bloglines account.
The feed was to do with cooking but I think after 68 years on this planet and three kids and six grand children ( and two Husbands) I can find my way around the kitchen.

#19 Google Docs

I have typed out a document in Google docs and find it useful if you want to store info.
You can safely store your documents online. It is also free which is helpful in these days of the recession biting in with every body.
You can also share any documents with my friends.

#20 Youtube

I have watched Susan Boyle perform on Youtube in the shop Britains got Talent and really enjoyed her singing and the judges comments on her performance. I loved the way she was dressed and her hair style.

#18 Week 8 Google docs

Made a word document and saved it in Google doc.
The advantage of this is that I can access this anywhere there is a computer with internet access.

#17 Week 7 Social Net working

I Looked at Auckland Library Bebo site and watched the virtual pet and dress the dolls and other info and also looked at My Space I did not create an accoun t on Face Book - I do my own social net working in a small way in The Find a Friend Site to find old school friends and old work mates - I am not interested in publishing my thoughts or interests to strangers and have a distrust of some of these Net working sites as can you be recognised or your family and what may the repercussions be - I would certainly not be publishing photos of my family or grandchildren as was suggested by a staff member.
I also looked at the Bebo site on Google - and felt again how sad that kids have one of those pets to sit and watch on a computer as when I was a kid growing up I had the real things outside in the fresh air with acres of land to run around on - my own pony, lamb, calf, dog and 50 cows to keep me happy in the need for an animal friend.
