Prezi

So I finally put together a Prezi, after much frustration. I often got lost in navigating around my Prezi page & trying to edit it/create paths etc. Though I did watch the instructional video & go through the tutorial slideshow, I still managed to totally confuse myself once I started on the page itself. Once again -- one of my fellow podmates (thank you Rachel!) came to my rescue. Once she got me back on track & I was able to create a path & actually "show" my Prezi, it kind of came together & made sense to me. I can see how it would be a valuable tool for presentations. I just think that you would have to feel comfortable with it in order to use it to its best advantage. Participating in 23 Things is making it abundantly clear to me that I do struggle with most web 2.0 applications. I'm glad I'm done the Prezi!

Google Docs/Google Spreadsheet

I just used Google Docs/Spreadsheet for the first time. Thank you Alison for helping me with Google Docs. I of course got lost again flipping back & forth between the instructions & the document page itself. I don't know that I would ever use this application, but Candice had explained to me how convenient it is for people separated geographically who are sharing/editing the same document. I can see how this tool would be useful. The spreadsheet was fun & easy. I just have to try to remember to update it weekly! I must admit that both of these "things" sounded really boring before I actually did them, but I really enjoyed it.

RSS Feeds

This morning I subscribed to RSS feeds. As I am not techno-savvy & had to keep flipping between the instructions & various windows/tabs -- I got lost a few times. But, thanks to Duane's assistance, I managed to complete the tasks. If I were to use my iGoogle page on a regularlar basis, I can see how RSS feeds would be useful & timesaving.

Picture of my cat

I am so happy, Gail H. just taught me how to post a pic of my kitty on my blog!

Thing 3

I have now completed Thing 3 of the 23 things -- registering my blog.

Iffat's First Blog

This is my very 1st blog. I have completed Thing 1, Week 1 & am now working on Thing 2, Week 2, which is blogging! I chose to participate in 23 Things to become more familiar with web applications such as this one.
