Well, we are now at week 7 and I was wondering about YouTube and so I was excited to try it out. But as we were to go to Odeo and make an account, I was dissappointed as even though I finally got to find the "health" postings, I did not find anything I wanted to make an account to. There seemed to be a number of slow or 'page not founds' as I went into look around. I finally left Odeo and went onto YouTube. I did find a wonderful video about the NLM being used with rural communities as the doctors and nurses went on their rounds. The video was eleven minutes long and told of how they entered the symptoms and it helped in the diagnosis. Unfortunately when I went back to look for it again, I never found it. I would have been nice to have added it to this blog as I think others would have liked it. If I find it again, I might try it. Since YouTube cannot be accessed at work, it seems like so many of the items in this course cannot be, I am not sure of the significance to them. They are fine for entertainment and maybe for education, but the firewalls for medical facilities make them unavailable. Because of this I do not see that this service is of much help and usefulness to us.
I do get tired of having to put so many hours into these assignments on my own time, family time, because they are not accessible at work. I think that the assignments like this week and the third week with Facebook should be put down as extras and try to keep the assignments to items that we can do while at work.
I have enjoyed the variety of subjects we have been exposed to,but the time involved is alot more than that described in the beginning.
