experiences with sites!

I have had the chance to use several new 2.0 web programs. The experiences I have had with each have all be great. I most recently tried using slideshare. This program allows for the sharing of Power Point presentations. Slideshare allows for people all over the world to show people the work they have done. Slideshare was user friendly. I created an account with no problem and uploaded the ppt. without having to retry.

The mindmapping tool I used was Mind Meister. I thought was a great online program to create a mind map. I enjoyed the experience with the program, and thought it had some great templates. The one I used I found particularly great for a match to my personality. It was an easy program to navigate. The biggest headache was trying to post it on my website but that was more of a size issue on my website. Mind Meister is definitely a program worth trying!

Del.icio.us has been a great tool to use in order to bookmark links from this class and allows me to tag it with terms to make it easy to search for something. Del.icio.us provides students and teachers with an interactive way to show sites they find to be useful and share with others. I enjoyed using del.icio.us.

I didn't have much luck with diigo. It seems like a great concept being able to highlight information and bookmark it for later. However, once I signed up there were several times I tried to access diigo and was sent to a server is too busy page. I do hope to use diigo in the future to help with making notes without writing things down and being able to find them later.
