Day two

Let me see where do I start, what have I used to learn? There are so many but I mainly prefer to use magazines as reference tools as I don't have to be online to use them, but you know the good thing about most things on the net is that "Its free" and you cant beat a free lunch!

Well the first site I'm going to refer to is The BBC's IT Page http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/ and their Web Wise section. This I used to deliver a presentation lesson for developing skills in the workplace. What I liked about the site was that it was very basic, straight forward and practical. It allowed users the time to build confidence, practice and most importantly get to use and understand terms, acronyms, and jargon's (chocolate for Tech heads).

The second is the Guardian Technology section on Thursdays and well now round the clock whenever you want if you have web access. This covers many things especially the Ask Jack section which is all about solving readers issues and requests. This is especially useful as computers or maybe PCs (for all the Mac users out there) are always throwing up different things from viruses to unknown codes (don't make users suffer from these strange anomalies???? I wonder)

What it has taught me is how to fix my own problems at least attempt too (as I've mentioned my laptop/PC is the centre of my universe (strange but I don't do mobile browsing/emails no Blackberry or an Archos for me unless its a gift You all know when my birthday is abi). A computer is like anything else whens its running well everything is perfect, when its not frustration becomes your middle name.

My favourite thing about it it is it has readers opinions, experiences and recommendations . allowing you to gain different perspectives. It keeps me up to date with the goings on in the IT world from games to phones to new software.

There is another site I'm going to use but the name has slipped me completely ill be with you next week for it gotta do a desktop search (Copernic, Google and Yahoo do one, check it out their invaluable). Found it; http://www.lasa.org.uk/ (wasn't exactly next week, well I did find it but didn't post it up!) This was the site whose web health check allowed to find out about the delights of Ctrl + Alt + Delete. (who remembers the day when they learnt about it its like learning to drive or swim Ahhhh! Sorry for the uninitiated Ctrl Alt Delete pressed at he same time allows you to access Task manager which allows you to end tasks that may be freezing your computer. If you don't know know you know.
