Web 2.0 and other programs

I attended a course during the sept break about using ICT tools. The class was exposed to many web 2.0 websites including using blogger specifically as a learning tool. After the course, i was so intrigued by the programs that i began to try them one by one. Not that i tried all that was introduced, but i think it is more than enough. Anyway, i would not have the time to do so anymore once school starts again.

The ones that i have "touched" were del.ciou.us, pageflakes, bloglines, vox and my yahoo! aggregator. And i decided that i will stick to my blogspot instead of starting another one on vox, even though vox offers nicer themes and backgrounds. But familiarity with blogspot is still much preferred. =) As for the use of aggregator to check updated websites and blogs of friends, it has been quite useful so far. I must say that this course has been beneficial and has triggered off some ideas to use ICT tools more in my work.

I started one webpage on pageflakes for a class and am hoping that it can be used. But thinking about it again, the school is already offering leadportal (as brought up by my dear wife, might as well use it since students already have their own account, no need to set up another one for them on pageflakes). I guess everything would be put on hold first until i have more time to get this sorted. Who knows... maybe have everything on blogspot?
