Brief videos with overview of different Web 2.0 apps (week -
15 September - 21 September)
When I watched the YouTube videos in question, I thought: “what a great idea! – to have short videos like these, explaining and traning people about Web 2.0 tools”. I thought about the old traning videos, in VHS or DVD, that had lessons that lasted 30 minutes to 1 or 2 hours. I remember watching a one-hour video on MS-Word – I got the video from the library – and that was very boring. That old video was just too long. So the idea of having shorter online videos is perfect for the way people function nowadays. I especially liked the following videos: Google Reader in Plain English and Wetpaint Wiki in Plain English. One thing that I am enjoying in this class is the opportunity to use these (online) applications in a way that I didn’t use them before. I thought I had a good idea of how they worked, but I have to say that I learn a lot more details about them. I feel that I am now taking fuller advantage of the capacity that these tools have to offer.
