Module 4 Tasks - Downloading Tools/plug-ins

  1. Adobe PDF Reader - already had this one, and I'm setup to automatically check for updates and prompt for installation.
  2. Flash/Shockwave - yep have those as well
  3. Have all the media players installed already (have a teenager that loves her music!!)
  4. Installed Copernic Meta but have not had a chance to really use yet.
  5. Installed two firefox plug-ins Scrapbook and Zotero, they perform similar functions on top of the bookmark management tool. Scrapbook has the best capture facility as it allows you to just highlight part of a website and capture to your hard drive very easily retaining its original format. However I prefer Zotero's file structure capability, and the ability to tag your saved pages and attach notes to them. I find using a combination of both tools works really well for me.
  6. As mentioned in point 5 Zotero and Scrapbook cover the Offline browser copying function.
