http://narise-learningjourney.blogspot.com/2009/08/file-storage-mediafire.html

Monday, August 17, 2009. Wow, after the last eLearning tool that I explored this one seemed like a breeze. I went to MediaFire. And created my account, uploaded a file and saved it, and then just posted the URL into my blog. Simple. Within the school environment this site could be used by members of the teaching cohort to share resources pertaining to units of work or by the Learning Manager to upload classroom work. Students could access these files from school or home however internet safety issues...

Monday, August 17, 2009. Well I am feeling very frustrated as I am writing this post. I have just spent the last three hours trying to convert an audio file, that I created in a program called Audacity. Into an MP3 file with no success. I set up an account with SlideShare.

Nari's E-Learning Journey: WikiPedia

Sunday, August 16, 2009. When I commenced university last year I was informed that academic writing needs to. Include reference to authors who are authentic, valid and reliable. I have usually tried to steer away from WikiPedia. As we were told that this is not a reliable reference to use for our assignments, as the information can be altered and changed by anyone.
