Wow......

I can't believe that my blog is still here. I did this almost a year ago. Well I guess it was for class and I knew I would not keep up with it. I was just curious to see if it was still up and going.

Blog #9-Understanding

I still don't fully understand the html language. Like I stated in my previous post I would need to take this class by itself. Carrying a full course load like I did is reflective of the work that could have been 100 times better in this class and my knowledge of the content. Hopefully when I graduate, I will not be in charge of designing training sessions that need to be conveyed via internet. Most companies now a days, have separate people to do that and all you need to do is learn the content.

I would love to have a better understanding of this. I am some what there since we completed our own websites. The only thing that I have had a hard time with is the inbedding of the videos.

Blog #8-Learning Experience

I wish I had enough time to learn more about website development and url's, html's, etc. All of this information is foreign to me and probably remain that way since I don't have to create websites or teach them to others. In my current position I don't need to access the web or go to alot of training classes to remain current on the recent development of websites. I tried to do some outside research on sites that help you in understanding development better but since I am technology challenge (putting it nicely) those site confused me more. I think that the next time I have to take any technology class like this I will take it by itself. I was carrying five classes this quarter and I can tell that it hurt my understanding of the materials that were presented in class. Thank God for Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is one website that I looked at http://goodpractices.com/

Blog #7-Websites (use of videos)

The first site that I go to often is http://youtube.com. This is one of my favorite sites. You can catch up on videos that you don't get a chance to see and old videos that they don't play anymore on MTV or BET. The only thing that I don't like about this site is that some of the video quality is not great. I understand that everyday people are sending in their own videos but there should be some screening process that determines if the quality is not good then it should not be submitted. But since it is a free site that thrives off of the public interest, what can you do?

The second site that I go to often is http://yahoo.com. They have a whole section dedicated to music. I do appreciate the fact that they keep current on their videos and the clarity is great. The only thing I don't like is the pop ups.

The last site that I would like to explore more of is http://msn.com. There music section is just like yahoo's. I don't got to that one often because I always use yahoo.

Blog #6-Podcatcher

I only explored the podcast that we did in class. To be truthful I still don't have a full understanding of this feature. If I am correct is has to do with videos? I had to access the podcast from the lab (not able to download it at home). Looking through my classmates sites, there were alot of variations that I could choose from that will be of interest to me also.

Blog #5-Delicious account

Here is the link to my delicisious account http://del.icio.us/ctoler1920. I did not get a chance to fully investigate this site. I like how it takes you directly to your favorite sites. It is a window into other peoples world, just like our developing websites.
