22. Teach someone else how to use one of the technologies described above and blog about your experience!

My co-worker Katherine (who Is also doing the 23 things challenge) and I decided to show and teach each other about one of the 23 things challenges/technologies. Since I had such an awful time with "MY Maps" Katherine showed me what she did for her My Maps challenge and showed me how to find help on the website. The help section is definitely the place to start. It goes thru each step In very basic and simple language. Also, I went In and unchecked "the automatically remember each address I search" button. I like to have control when I'm working with a program. It's Irritating to me when a program tries to tell me what to do. Ha, ha…

I showed Katherine some of the podcasting search engines that I used In challenge #21. I uploaded a small list of resources to our shared documents page In Google/Docs. That way we could use two of the technologies at the same time. I also gave her some hints about podcasting like; you don't have to have an ipod to listen to podcasts, and you can listen to podcasts online or download the MP3 to listen to on your computer, or you can listen to it on your own MP3 player. Also, if you want to use iTunes then you do need to download it to your computer, but the best part is that iTunes is a free download and the podcasts are also free!
