Comments on Multimedia Presentation-4Shared

Well, I'd like to say that our Presentation was fun and easy to create but we had many technical problems which caused us to spend hours coming up with a final project.  Our original idea was to use ScreenToaster.com so that we could make a video of us using 4Shared while we were talking.  We could not get the sound to work so we recorded the project with no sound and then recorded our presentation to Tokbox.com with sound.  It is hard to see what we are pointing at but the conversation is good and I think helpful to someone who wants to try 4Share out.  

4Shared has some nice features.  Sharing documents and photos were relatively easy to do.  I posted my Husband's welding projects on my virtual hard drive.  When we first moved to Salem, Steve was applying for lots of jobs and they wanted to see his work.  It would have been helpful to be able to have included a link to 4Shared with his photos downloaded with his resume.  I like the fact that information can  be stored "in space" rather than on a persons hard drive.  The feature that I liked the most was their emailing process.  It was extremely simple to use and I liked the format in which it was sent.  I didn't particularly like the "search engine".  Since files sometimes have numbers or funny names, it's hard to find files on a particular subject like, lesson plans. I also found that I couldn't download half the files I tried - that could be because of VISTA.  The music download also seemed fairly easy.  There was a forum section where I was able to find discussions on particular topics.  That might be fun to look into further.    

 

Below our 4Shared Presentation Post are two Posts in which I used 4Shared.  Please take a look so you can see what 4Shared looks like when you use it.
