#23(WEEK9) Summing UP

Myspace Glitter Graphics - http://www.glittertextgraphics.com

Yeah as you said...it is not the end it is the beginning of a new me.I have learnt so much...There has been some hurdles, bit of humps and wee bit of pot holes...I would say...mmm.. it has been bit of a bumpy ride but I have reached my destination to start off on a new route... Before even beginning this programme, I was losing hope, always thinking if ever I will be able to do this but when i started! there I was very proud of mah self being able to tackle each excerise as it came...and I must say I had a very helpful friend who always helped and encouraged me to keep going when I encounted difficulty[Now this friend cannot hide anymore she's no other than MUMBAICHIC]Thanks heaps doll you have been an amazing support. It has been a huge learning curve for me...reason being that as I had said earlier in this programme..."You have to have good amount of time to explain yah self to be patient and to do each exercise with lot of enthusiasm...than u'll be successful. ...I am not stopping here,I will try and take out some time once a week to do something or the other from this programme to keep up to date..Thanks to Jayne Gutry and team of acl elgar.;)

#22(WEEK 9). ebooks


Once when we were in year 10 our form teacher told us that "a time will come when we wont be standing here infront teaching you children, it will be a little electronice device" ( I think she meant for computers...maybe or maybe not)...I think those days are not very far from now....I do believe or shall I say that I have to accept that TECHNOLOGY has moved this far where books are appearing on screen page by page....I wouldn't want to go there...for me its too much hard workI'd rather take mah hard copy and read in a healthy environment than to sit in the study straining mah eyes off....no no I actually dont say that it is bad.....yeah for materials which we think will get tatty because of the quality of paper it's printed on or a lot of man handling will damage it, I think ebook will give it a prolonged life,..oops what am I saying, not prolonged! I mean they will be IMMORTAL..aha!.......IT is also good for people doing research and travelling and wouldn't wanna overload their luggage wid books etc.You may call me old chick who wouldn't wanna acccept todays technology...but nah 98% of people out there still believe in books ...books i mean da actual hard copy. So yeah good news for da publishers out there...you wont run out of business ...cause there's heaps of people like me out there who will keep you going

Now getting serious besides entertainment we all know that YOUTube has alot to offer...we can make our own video's and post it on this site but we all know as everything has their pro's and cons...."so with caution" I believe all will work well.Aha!..Idea... we can get some suitable video clips for children to make story time more interesting and for other areas as well...I bet you agree with me.

#19 (Week 8). Discovering Web 2.0 tools

In fact I have not visited individual sites to make my judgement on who was better than the other...In actual fact, there has to be a winner somewhere ...but for me they all are ...It is like every individual has their own talent...so every site has their own features...it may have something more and less than the other..Don't you agree :))<

#18 (Week 8). Take a look at some online productivity (word processing, spreadsheet) tools.

Zoho Writer the word processor designed outstands the word and microsoft word. It is for the upcoming generation.It is built using another NEW Techology known as Ajax. It has so many formatting options, and also u can use the same keyboard shortcuts as with any other word processing application for accessing these functions. A time saver, it has a very friendly tool bar and the functions are just a click away...:(There's so much to it, that if I continue writing it will take a whole day ...so why not just get in there and see for your self...take mah word...u'll benefit from all its features ooops now I am angry just like this face....I tried so many times to publish my zoho article via publish options provided....but yeah it DID NOT work 4 me @ all ...ggggrrrrr how annoying!!!!

#17 (Week 7) Playing around with PBWiki

There!! I have added an entry to the favourite blogs page...since we are all in the learning pace "apologies to those who are whizz in this field...am talking about some of us"..The video clip was very helpful and yeah once I had finished my tour It didnot look that difficult.I wont stop here..I will go to checkout more every now and than ...ie..after I finish this blog and receive my MP3. I am so thankful to ACL 2.0 .This whole thing has taken me so far. :)))
