BP5_20100302_Web2.0Tool2_Woopid
I’ve been using Lynda.com this week. I’m very keen to learn Adobe Illustrator CS4. Particularly, I’m interested in using Illustrator to create one of my photo uploads for our Week 2 Flickr assignment. Lynda.com is terrific. I feel like I’m learning just as much watching these tutorials as I would if I were actually sitting in an Illustrator class (and for a lot less money)!

Laura... this is a great resource. I need to go on top of the mountain tops and tell all our friends about this resource.
ReplyDeleteThank you for finding it. I am going to check it out now.
I was also wondering if you could use this at work? Since you work for a company that tends to be tech adverse could you recommend this site to the help and have them send out a mass email to inform employees about the site or maybe post a link on the intranet. Just a thought...
I ran across Woopid while researching Web 2.0 tools but didn't spend much time on the site. I guess that is why I initially wasn't impressed. Being a die hard Lynda.com user, I just didn't see how the two compared. Lynda is packed with tutorials and inspirational documentaries and Woopid has only a few tutorials.
ReplyDelete...and then Laura, I ran into your blog entry on Woopid and decided to give it another try. I have to agree with you and Q that Woopid is a wonderful resource. I think I let my Digital Native pride and Lynda.com elitism get in the way.
I feel this would be a beneficial resource to pass along among teachers and it's a safe site so it could be a great learning tool for students as well.
Great find, Laura! I am glad you found something that works for YOU!
