Thing 24: Got file conversion issues?

OK, so I've not been doing any of this learning online for ages. Each time I've tried to engage with Learning 2.1, there has always been a much more interesting distraction. Tonight however, I decided to take some action!

Zamzar: I'd never heard of this site before, but I can see the use for it. My son has had issues at school opening files saved on our home computer. Zamzar could be invaluable at some later stage.

For this exercise, I took an article I found online and saved it to a word document. I submitted it to Zamzar and within 5 minutes, the converted document was emailed to me. I decided not to sign up at this stage, but saved the pdf file directly to my computer. It would only be available for 24 hours, but I did not see this as a problem.

I haven't worked out how to add the pdf file for all to see, but I've included a link to the video of the CBS News article, "Unlikely Reading Teaching Aide: Dogs."

Enjoy!
