Don't Forget

A very important component to include in the design/editing/creating part of a web-page is the "save" button. I was 3/4 of the way finished with my WebQuest when all of the sudden the connection to Nvu was lost and all my work disappeared. It had been quite some time since I had last clicked "save" therefore I had to start from practically scratch. It had been awhile since I was that upset. Anyway, as in Microsoft Word I believe it is already built in that "auto-save" is already programmed in. So should Nvu and the others. Every minute or so would be nice for it to happen on its on. Technology is great as long as things don't disappear right before your very eyes. I perceive hinderances like this will always be around causing for frustration to occur in all types of students. Kindergarten or Grad alike. Kuddos to the auto-save inventor guy or gal.

  1. I hear you and feel your pain, Ernie.

    I made an in-depth digital story about my husband's life this past May. It was a birthday gift for him. I edited all the pictures and narrated everything "just so." Then....you guessed it.....my computer froze and I LOST ALL OF IT! It was more than 10 hours worth of work! After I calmed down I decided that I would never make that mistake again! I save often in ALL programs now!

    Like me, you had to learn the hard way. Just keep pressing "save" and you won't have to learn another lesson that way!

    How is your multimedia lp going? What about your WQ? I'm looking forward to seeing them both!
