Technology Learning Zone: July 2009

LEARN SOMETHING TODAY

Welcome to the Technology Learning Zone, the official blog of The Professional Admin. Here you will find the most recent technology information pertaining to the office administration field, and some other tips that will help you in your personal life, too.

I started this blog as part of a technology training I've taking through the Public Library System in my area. This is a work in progress while I learn about a variety of topics including: blogs, RSS Feeds, podcasting, social networking, language learning and more. As time pass by and I master all technological topics included in the training, I'll start adding posts with up-to-date information that I'm sure will be very helpful for you.

I hope you enjoy it.

Techno Vibes

Wow! I didn't know it was going to be so hard to create a video and upload it online. Well, not so hard, but just to decide what to do and how was a big thing for me.

I used my cell phone and my main character was our newly pet Dukey. He's a mini poodle we adopted from a shelter and he didn't show any enthusiasm when I was recording him. I hope my next video is more interesting.

Presenting Dukey

To upload my video I decided to use YouTube. I have an account with them, so I decided to keep it the same way.

The Newscasters

RSS and Newsreaders are not so new for me. During my last job, I was responsible to maintain some intranet team sites for the IT department and I incorporated some RSS to their main pages. It is interesting, though, to learn new ways to work with them.

I decided to use Technorati as my RSS agregator because after searching on the three options available, that one looks better developed and the blogs have more recent updates
