The 23rd Thing

Now I have completed my Web 2 learning it is time to reflect on what I have learnt.
Some of it is very useful for me and I am sure that I will be using some of it at a later date but some I found quite confusing. Not being a person who finds these technical things second nature, I needed help with a few of the steps along the way.
The RSS feeds, for example, was completely foreign and I didn't really understand it.
It was hard to get into some of the sites from our staff PC's which meant having to use the learn-net and to be honest, I find that if I am at a strange computer and not in my own surroundings, then it makes it even harder to concentrate and understand.
The social networking and You tube were the best part of the whole experience, but soon I suppose it will all be obsolete anyway. Then we will be on to Web 3!

EBooks

E Books are ok but I wouldn't want to read a book online, I prefer to read a book that I can hold.

Podcasts

I had a look at the site, podcast.com and found it quite interesting, I was watching the ABC news and found the quality very good. There was a news story about Barack Obama and the picture quality was great.
My preference though, it Youtube, but maybe if I had time to browse more, I might find more interesting things on podcast.com. This is probably not something I would look at normally but as it was part of our web 2 training I found it rather interesting.

Google Docs

I have managed to successfully transport my instructions for the staff fax machine from google Docs to my blog.
It wasn't too hard but I needed a bit of advice from others. It doesn't come naturally to me like it does to some people, but once I am shown what to do, then it all makes sense.
