Week 9: Task 23: Final Comment

This has been a VERY long trip for me!!! In fact, should have been finished months ago. Were pieces I really enjoyed and bits I loathed. Overall now I have a great feeling of relief and satisfaction in being done. Not an experience I would want to repeat as it really is not my thing but still good to try something different and new.

Week 9: Task 21: RSS Feeds for a Pod Cast

This one I found a lot more time consuming and troublesome than the You Tube task. Was pleased to see the end of it! It is not something I could see myself getting actively involved with.

Week 9: Task 22: EBooks

Project Gutenburg was quite interesting and I especially liked the concept of being a proofreader - perhaps a problem as they undoubtedly use american spelling! Personally I would not subscribe to ebooks (even when free) as sitting looking at a computer screen for too long would drive me nuts.

Week 9: Task 20: Discovering You Tube



As ABBA is my favourite group, this is one of my fav songs and I was actually enjoying being able to complete a task, I decided to add an exra contribution ;)

Week 9: Task 20



This is the promotional video posted on You Tube by ITFNZ to promote the World Championship Taekwon-Do competitions to be hosted in Wellington in 2011. I found this to be one of the easiest assignments yet!!! Yay...could it possibly be a sign of progress???

Week 8: Task 19: Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

I elected to go straight to the short list (ie the winners) of the Web 2.0 Awards. The category I chose was Genealogy. The site was My Heritage which I have now added as one of my favourites on our home computer. I had a lot of fun starting to formulate our family tree and look forward to expanding the information it includes as time permits. I also need to confirm some names and dates with my parents so I can make further progress. From there I will do some more research to see how far back I can go.
