Podcasts

Several years back I followed the account written by columnist Steve Lopez of the LA Times about the street musician. Now a major motion picture this story fascinates me. I went to the NPR podcast that included an interview with Steve Lopez. It was 30 minutes of intriguing talk about Lopez's experience. It definately made me feel even more interested in seeing the movie.

UTube Voila!

This lesson was particularly relevant to me. I searched UTube and discovered three videos produced by Marymount College that offer both student and professor testimonials about why Marymount College is such a great place to go to school. This week I am working with a national firm in higher education to identify our uniqueness, our brand, our attributes. This added to my collection of knowledge and the videos were shared with the team members.

Upload an image

I have an uncompleted task. I need to upload an image on my blog. I figured out how to add my photo. I also want to add a photo from the web. So I will go our hunting and return. Couldn't make it again. Drats. Will try again.

delicious

This was an interesting lesson. I currently do not have a large collection of favorite or bookmarked sites. But I am doing research into alumni programs and will use delicious to track the many sites where I find valuable information.

Wikis and Wikipedia

A month or so ago Dr. Brophy asked me to check the Marymount College posting on Wikipedia. It has errors and it had mean stuff. I was able to change and register to be notified when other changes were meade. Today I checked it and something wrong was there again. So I changed it. Guess this means I will need to check it periodically to make sure it acurately reflects us.

Photos and Graphics Uploads

I have spent so many hours trying to upload my photo to my twitter account. Additionally I have tried unsuccessfuly to add an image to this blog. I need some one-on-one tutoring help. It's probably simple, but has eluded me.

I am having an impossible go at adding a graphic image to my blog. Think I need some one-to-one assitance to make this week's lesson work. I'll play around for a little while more. I hate to be a quitter.
