I learned a lot from class from this week. I'm really grateful to the friend sitting next to me who could help guide me through a couple of things. I learned all about creating an iGoogle which has already made my life easier. I don't have to remember websites anymore and I can go bookmark them once and have them on my site to remember. I love that! I also learned about adding links to my website and how to make it more fun for the people who will be reading it. These tips I've learned just tonight have made me feel like my eyes are just a little bit more opened to the many possibilities to technology and how far we've come already. For some people this is literally child's play but I feel like I'm learning a lot. the only muddy part for me will be remembering how to do everything we learned this week but with more practice I think I'll get the hang of it.
"The Machine is Using Us" video seemed way over my head. I understand the concept but I'm not clear on the jargon used or exactly how the machine uses us. A lot of this technology information makes me feel like I'm 253 years old on the inside. I feel so out of date! I'm trying to learn as much as I can but this video was a little discouraging for me.
The background you are using makes it hard to read the text could you select another one?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like learning all this new information and tech. It will save you lots of time once you have it done. I'm not sure if I cna ever go back to way I used to do things.
A tool you might want to load on your computer if you really like using iGoogle along with the other Google stuff is the Google Tool Bar. Go to Google then More than even more and scroll down to it. Read about it then load it on your computer or laptop you use all the time. It will save you time as well.
The video The Machine is Using Us is one you need to watch more than once. But it has some good information to be aware of. Wow, that is old 253 years:) For me it can be overwhelming. Just take what you like keep learning about it, get good at it then become an expert in it. Then move on to something else.
