Web 2.0

This week we focused on Web 2.0 applications. There are several that I already use: gmail, Moodle (an FTP program for education), online banking services Facebook, and others. But I did learn about a few that are helpful and fun.
I some time playing with Jing. Our IT people use it to create help videos, but I had never used it before. It is a quick and easy download. Very easy to use. I especially like the screen capture feature -- you can draw arrows and write text on you pics.
I also discovered Diigo. After playing with it for an hour, I decided that it will be the topic of my online project for the class that I taking this semester. With Diigo you can bookmark sites, highlight text for future reference, capture screen shots. Diigo creates a library of your work; great for research.
