All This New Technology Makes Me Feel Old

Hi,

All this new technology makes me feel old. I didn't grow up with a computer and a blackberry and twitter etc. I didn't have a lot of time this week to really check out anything new in terms of technology so I will share a couple of gems with you that I have previously discovered that I think could be most helpful to you:

Question Writer 4 Software

This software is great. There is also a free download version. If you need to make up quizzes this software makes it a snap. I hope you will appreciate it as much as I do.

Jing

This product is amazing. There is also a free version. It is easy to use. It helps you make little videos rather than just sending screenshots if you are trying to explain to someone else how to do something. It is perfectly amazing. I hope you will like it as much as I do.

I must admit that I didn't get much out of the session last week on how to do a blog. I still wish somehow I could figure out how to add a calendar to my blog and do other cool things. I prefer a class where the instructor shows which buttons to click on to do a specific task.

In my desperation today I googled it under videos on YouTube. Here are two very helpful videos that I found:

How To Create a Blog with Blogger

Adding a Google Gadget to Your Blog

They are both great. I hope you find them useful as well.

Talk to you tomorrow. I don't feel so old anymore now that I have figured it out. All I can say is "Thank God for YouTube" and "Happy Blogging".
