Problems

  • The problems that I faced was that I didn't know how to download a youtube file for my eBook. But I overcame this by researching on the Internet and finding a website to download the youtube file.http://www.convertfiles.com/ This website allows me to covert any video file to WMV file and then I can download the video.
  • Another problem I faced was that I didn't know how to trigger a word and then make something else appear. But I also overcame this by the help of sir, he taught me how to trigger a particular thing to make something come up by fade in and out.
  • I had problems finding information about the future of social networking, however I had to do a lot of research to find some information and also sir helped me to find information about social networking.
  • I tried a test run at uploading my eBook onto student net because to see if Sir can watch the videos on my eBook, on his computer. But it didn't end up working so I had to also upload the videos as well as the eBook so Sir can download the videos and the eBook onto his computer and then he can watch the videos on the eBook.
