Week #10 - Podcasts and Audio

I am so excited that this course was offered. It exposed me to new information that is wonderful!

Downloading the audiobook was very easy following the steps that were given. And with high speed internet it took no time at all.

I can not wait to get my MP3 player! I am going to use it download audio books, music and podcasts. It seems I am always on the go and it will be nice to have something new to listen to.

Week #9 - Digital Music

I think that restrictions on music downloads is a good thing for the artist, it protects their work and ensures that they are given payment for what they have created. On the other hand some of the restrictions I think are a little excessive. After a song has been purchased through itunes you have to figure out the work around to be able to burn it to a CD or onto a player. I am glad that the artists can now feel confident that they are not going to be ripped off by companies who do not respect the work they have done.

Week #8 - Sharing Information

I really do enjoy online learning, I like the flexibility of it and being able to go at my own pace. My masters was all online, while this was nice I also missed the face-to-face interactions of a classroom setting. I have been a help to a few people, we have not worked on the assignments together, but I have been more of a support person for questions that may arise. I have also helped with talking about the new technologies and have at times given even more of a summary of what they do.

I have uploaded a picture to my Flickr account. It is called Week#8 - Explore Activity.
