Thing 23 Week 9

Some excercises were useful like youtube.com, the net award winners like craigslist.com. All the rest were useless to me. I dont think i will be using blogs anytime soon. As for my life long learning, there are other tools available for me to use.

Thing 22 Week 9

Was unable to view eBooks. No permission to install plug-in. Will elaborate further when it is fixed.

E-Books would be helpful so many people are able to read the same book without having many hard copies of the books.

Thing 21 Week 9

Podcasts are like radio shows that help keep me updated on basketball news. It also keeps me up to date local and Nigerian news. I especially like the ESPN podcasts. They inform me on sports news i want to hear about.

Thing 20 Week 9



I love youtube.com. I am able to watch my favorite basketball player and their highlights.

Thing 19 Week 9

Though i am not much of a reader, LibraryThing.com did help me find many interesting books on African literature. Some tags that were helpful were Ghana, neighboring country to Nigeria, and Nigeria itself. The search engine really narrows down the topic I am looking for like agricultural, and or political books. It also is helpful with the breakdown of related subjects on the side.

Thing 18 Week 8

Using these online word processers and spreadsheets are convinient to use when not at your home computer. It gives the ability to work anywhere in the world and be able to access it anywhere as well. I like this feature because i dont have to be on my home computer. My dislikes are there aren't as many bonus feature like in microsoft word such as creating tables.
