Podcasts, YouTube, Overdrive

The last assignment for our Learning 2.0 projects was to learn about Podcasts, YouTube, and Overdrive. I have watched music videos, and how-to videos several times on YouTube, in the past. I tried to log in as directed to learn how to upload a video, but to no success. I spent some time on the iTunes site learning what Podcasts are (free video or audio downloads, that can be viewed or listened to on a computer, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV). I was unsuccessful trying to figure out how to access the list of available downloads. Finally, I checked out Overdrive. None of the links worked at all for that site. Overall, a rather frustrating experience.

Top 100 sites from Web 2.0

I found an interesting list of websites to puruse. I was familiar with several of them, such as Craig's List and Netflix. I looked at "Remember the Milk", which is a way to organize your "to do" list. I also spent some time on FotoFlexer.com. It provides many ways to alter your photos, such as adding animation, eliminating the background from an object, retouching, distorting, and doddling over a photo. Sounds like fun!
