Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

In reflection, I look back to the beginning. When I first started, I found the exercises confusing and difficult. Not being computer savvy with all the new technology out there, I felt bereft. Thoughts of giving up were in my mind, but I couldn't do that, it's not in my personality. So I plowed on. It didn't seem to work for me at work, too many interuptions, couldn't concentrate, so I did them at home in my free time, which brought about resentment. At first it took me hours to complete a task and my confidence was shattered. But as I went on I learnt a lot and my confidence was restored, to the point where I could see a light at the end of the tunnel and I started to do the exercises at work, resentment was gone and I started to get excited that I was able to accomplish the tasks asked of me without any help from anyone and I was very proud of what I had achieved.

eAudiobooks

Looked around this site, wow how things have changed!!!
To be able to download audio files straight onto MP3 players to listen to at leisure or to have a book at your convenience available on any computer to read or printout to read later, is pretty phenomenal.

Podcast

Tried to do this exercise, but yet again, it makes it difficult when your computer doesn't have a sound card and I get blocked trying to download.

You too can YouTube

Ooops, I already navigated through YouTube on my last exercise, not realising that YouTube was number 20 on our list. Oh well!!! At least it was fresh in my head. I chose "Chick eats a big spider" because I like getting freaked out with Fear Factor and it still grosses me out even without sound.

Discovering Web 2.0 tools

For this exercise I wanted to know what all the hype was about, when referring to "You Tube". I must say I was fascinated, I could have watched and played for hours. My only saving grace was that my work computer doesn't have a sound card, so watching silent videos isn't quite the same. Great site though.

Zoho

Just trying out my discovery exercise on Zoho.  Looks interesting so far.

Playing around with PBWiki

This exercise was a bit amusing, because I couldn't view any of the video gallery at work or download flash 9 on my work computer, due to restrictions imposed, but I managed to add my blog to the "favorite Blogs" list as instructed. I will try at home, but I get the gist of it anyway.
