Week 10 #23: The End

My favorite discovery is Flickr. I love posting pictures that my friends and family can view. If I can ever get Overdrive to work for me, I will enjoy listening to audiobooks. I plan to bring my new laptop up to the library to have the "experts" help me! YouTube is fun to watch and I really enjoyed the movies Beth supplied each week. To be honest the other exercises were fun to learn and quick to be forgotten. I don't have much use for any of the other high-tech stuff like bloglines, wikis, & podcasts. I understand it is the way of the future, but I will take what I like (Flickr) and get by without the others. What did surprise me is that I could learn most of the lessons without too much assistance. So, I have discovered not to be afraid of technology and give it a chance. I have more confidence in myself as far as my abilities go.

Week 9 Post 22: Overdrive

I was able to successfully check out an audiobook, download it, and listen to it when I took the training some time ago. However, when I went home and tried to do it on my home computer I couldn't get it to work. I did download the Overdrive software to my computer and I still see it there every day, but I get an error message when I try to use it. Even my husband, a software developer and my personal network services technician, could not get it to work. It's a great idea - I love listening to audiobooks. I was excited about checking out audios from home at any time so I was disappointed I couldn't get it to work. Are there any volunteers to come out to my house and see what I am doing wrong?

Week 9 Post 21: Podcasts

I searched through Yahoo & Podcasts.com and I liked Podcasts best. I found this podcast which I thought was fun since I'm a new dog owner: Hound TV: A video podcast for dogs and their owners. Really fun!

Week 9 Post 20: YouTube

<I wasn't sure that the video got embedded because nothing showed up right away. Later that night I was able to see it and play it on my home computer. Naomi told me it just takes a long time to load but I thought I was doing something wrong. I love cats so have really enjoyed all the YouTube cat videos.

I added this link to see if it works better than the embedded link.
