Technicalities

Ok.  So I’ve added my Picasa web album using my del.icio.us tags (which is cool), and the pictures are there, however, I have been having trouble adding captions to explain the process, which is how to save YouTube videos to your computer.  I hope you can follow it the way it is.  I’ve had to do most of my work for this class from my office computer because (gasp!) I still have dial-up at home.  The problem here is that our school has the internet filtered so that certain sites don’t go through to the students (a good feature right).  Unfortunately it seems the filters are blocking some features of the picasa web gallery.  So I will leave it like that for now and fix it later. 

That certainly can be another topic of discussion.  That is, with the use of more and more online tools, there seems to be more technical issues as well.  For Jing I had to install the .NET framework and that took a couple days to wrangle the problems.  If we expect an online learning environment for our students to be the norm, we are going to need a lot more technicians.
