Tech-Challenged fifty-something

I'm sure David has enough work to do without worrying about antics here at the Rising Voices Outreach Curriculum Wiki.   I'm making a new page just to show that you can make pages too.  I think the "free" version of this PBWiki hosting has a max of 10MB of data.  So eventually we can delete unnecessary files that just take up space like this photo.  That's enough space for us to play around for quite awhile, and it's also easy to save stuff made here at other places.  Naturally on a wiki people can edit every page, but the pages can be easily reverted to previous versons.  You knew that?  Then what are you doing on the Tech-Challenged page!  Seriously, everyone has something to offer and I encourage us to make a great curriculum and have a ball doing it.

I'll admit that I'm quite technically challenged.  I've got to think that has some advantages for our purposed here.  Making information available so I can understand it might make the media we create easy enough for beginners in less computer and Internet saturated places.  Rising Voices member and incomparable bloger Beth Kanter at  Beth's Blog is a fantastic teacher.  One of the best ways to find information at her blog is to scroll down and look on the  lefthand sidebar for categories.  An index of Screencast articles includes an article of making screencasts suing Ubuntu and free software.  There are lots of other great articles, but I highlight the issue of free software because many of us are working with miniscule budgets, so this deserves some attention.

It's been a while since I've used PBWiki, there used to be a page preview, but the new composing software makes that a bit redundant.  I suppose I imagine that this page might look better if I could preview it.  If others want to just play around with the features, you don't need to make a new page to do so.  Go to the SandBox and fool around to your heart's content without thinking someone's looking.  Then make a new page or edit an existing page.  Add something here  if you'd like.
