YouTube is a website that allows anyone to upload or view movies from an place at anytime. It is a great way to gain knowledge through the use of visual aids. I have found it very useful, because I think it is a more interesting and easy way to learn.

Yola is the site I used to create the webpage you are currently viewing. It is surprising easy to use and gives you step by step instructions on what to do. You can use Yola for free and I think that the free version allows you to do a huge amount of things, but if your looking for that little bit extra you can also buy Yola for a small fee.

Taste is the one of the resources I used to create my assignment 1B. I was pleased I came across this site and have continued to use it in my kitchen with my son. You can create your own menu, find lots of yummy recipes, talk to other cooks and there is heaps more. If you love your cooking I would highly recommend you check this site out.

That image is of my groups wiki space from assignment 3. Wikis are great for people wanting to work in a group because it allows everyone to keep track of each persons efforts and if something is deleted it can be easily recovered. The wiki also allows you to speck to one another through a messaging system, which is great because everyone knows its not always easy to catch up and go through things with such busy lives.

Jing has perhaps been the most helpful site I have used this semester. Before starting my first year of university I had no idea how to produce a screen capture, but one of my peers Lisa Ford suggested this resource to me and I have used it ever since. The site once downloaded allows you to easily take a shot of any part of your screen by the click of a button. You can also create movies using it as well. If you are already highly experienced in doing these things I would recommend something a little more advanced otherwise go for it, give it a shot it really helps.
