A quick summary!
A few years ago I presented a local conference - UCET on a well know website called YouTube. The point was why and how teachers should make their own classroom channel and bring your desired content to the students. The next year we presented the same thing knowing that since we did it a year ago we could pretty much wing it and do it again.
No luck
We went through our .ppt and discovered many changes were needed and screen shots were wrong since the location function buttons had moved on the website. We spent the next two days finding what was wrong (okay different and updated) and got it all fixed 5 days before the conference.
Conference time.
At show time we discovered... updates had happened again and the screen shots we took 5 days earlier were already outdated! I am guessing this is when my "updates happen" mantra began.
Looking back at it now and knowing the stress of conference crunch-time I wonder if maybe were just using a different browser or if... well speculate away - Updates still happen!
Over the last few years as I am sure you are aware of MANY updates have been brought upon us by the powers that be - Apple, Windows, iOS, Google, Firefox they're all guilty of it and they expect us to be able to follow and keep up with them all. - Here's to trying!
