Thing #24: Zamzar - file conversion

Using Zamzar.com you can convert files to different file formats – no software installation or download required.

This website offers on-the-fly conversion of text, image, audio and video file formats and the best thing about the site is that you don't even need a login to convert. Simply browse for your file, select the new format type and it does the magic and even emails the results to you.

Learn all about file conversion and work through the discovery exercise.

PLEASE NOTE: If the link to Zamzar from the PLCMC website is being blocked, insert the URL www.zamzar.com directly into your browser. This definitely works from the desktop.



Have fun!!!

Learning 2.1 - the adventure continues

This blog has been set up to chart your progress in the 'Learning 2.1'program.

Discovery has never been so much fun ...
Commencing on Monday 7 April 2008, LIS is once again embarking on a Web 2.0 journey of discovery with the Learning 2.1 program. This is a continuation of the popular Learning 2.0 -' Learning 23 things' online discovery program and will run for approximately 12 weeks. Each participant will continue to use their own blog - accessible from the Participants Blog - to record ideas, experiences and learning.

Please head up each blog post with the 'Thing' you are addressing eg. Thing #24 Zamzar.

Feel free to comment and add your own tips, hints and discoveries to this blog.

If you need assistance with any aspect of the program please contact either Angela or Vanessa.
