Learning 2.1

Now that I've finished the Learning 2.0 program I had a quick look at Learning 2.1. I hadn't realised Zamzar was one of those activities. Cool! Anyhoo I've decided to forge ahead and do L2.1.

For those still struggling to find time to complete 2.0, keep plugging away. Even if you do one exercise a week, it's something. If you need help, please ask.

#24 - Zamzar file conversion

Zamzar is a fantastic site for converting files. Let's say someone comes into the library with their resume saved as a Works document and they want to open it up in Word.

They can go to Zamzar and follow the 4 steps. There's no need to register and it's totally free.



Step 1 - select the file.

Step 2 - choose the format to convert to

Step 3 - enter your email address

Step 4 - click the convert button.

The converted file is emailed to the email address you supplied.

The following are the examples of the file formats that Zamzar converts:

.doc to .html, .pdf, .txt
.docx to .doc, .pdf, .txt
.wps to .doc, .pdf, .txt

and heaps more, have a look at the conversion types

It's very easy. They've even now added the capability to convert files from video websites such as Youtube and Google Reader so that you can store them.

I created a To do list in Microsoft Word and converted it to a pdf document. It worked beautifully.
