Phew! Made it to Week 16: Web Awards and Conclusion

Finally staggered across the finish line!!!
Can't believe that I have finally finished the Web 2.0 Learning Program.

It is just amazing that I really enjoyed a large part of it. There were times that I got soooo frustrated and nothing seemed to work and it didn't help that I didn't know what I was doing. Somehow I stumbled through.

Enjoyed creating my blog, loved flickr, had too much of good time with play week and seem to stumble through middle part of the program. The last couple of tasks I started to get my mojo back...
Enjoyed the discussions and competitiveness among work colleagues whilst attempting the various tasks.
Many thanks to Virginia, Leslie and Lynette.



Edging Closer with Week 15: Flow Charts

Flow charts are not my thing..... (that's what I thought until I had a go).

Signed onto 'Gliffy' and attempted a flow chart....hard to believe that I really enjoyed trying out the various features that I happened to stumble upon!


Had fun in 'Bubble.us' - my bubbles kept multiplying but finally figured out to to detonate them!!!

Finish Line in Sight with Week 14 - Newsletters in a pop!

Enjoyed this little exercise.
It is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends (for annoucements, sharing holiday stories, christmas greetings etc.).

Finally On Track with Week 13 - EBooks and Audiobooks

Had a quick browse at the various sites. I'm not a big fan of Ebooks and Audiobooks, but I can see the benefits its offers for those who are time poor etc.
For me, I much prefer to read a paperback any old day.

Getting There with Week 12 - YouTube

Heard a lot about Youtube but haven't been game enough to explore this further. The only one that I looked into was Raymond Crowe's (not related to Russell) amazing hand shadow show to the song 'What a Wonderful World'.
Much more sophisticated then when we were kids......


Trying Hard to Catch Up with Week 11 - Podcasts

A very frustrating day.....the internet is soooo slow.
Managed to listen to a podcast from the ABC as I had trouble getting into other sites.
I can see this being a useful tool and will explore further.

Phew! Finally Caught Up with Week Ten - Rollyo

Easy enough for me to create an account on Rollyo. Now the hard part is deciding what to add. Finally decided to add a group of various free/healthy recipe websites that I may want to use in the future.
