Week 13: What a ride ! (Post Learning 2.0)

Establishing this blog originally for work purposes, it would seem that I just can’t stop.

I thought it might be appropriate to write about life after completing Learning 2.0.

This course was one of those life changing experiences.

Since completing the work, I have found myself still utilising the many sites, waiting for my RSS feeds and even setting up a slideshow for friends and family to see how my little mare (whom is green broke) is getting along.

I have spoken with professional colleagues, citing all the merits of applications such as Google Docs and so forth.

The course was exhilarating and refreshing.

Thanx for reading.

Week 11: Google Docs versus Zoho

Setting up a free Zoho account was very easy and it was great to see that you had the option of using either your Google or Yahoo email accounts.

Unfortunately, that is where the praise ends. If given the choice, I would definitely opt for Google Docs as opposed to Zoho, which seemed limited.

The Google Doc is clear, precise and comprehensive; offering a very large assortment of templates (for those inclined).

Week 11: Google Docs

Just when you think there can’t be any more amazing finds, you come across Google Docs. I can see so many applications for this streamlined facility.

Manilla Library is increasing numbers and services. For example, with the new Manilla Book Lovers Club we have a staggering 15 members; at the last meeting it was suggested that review be organised and published. Imagine, how easy it will be to have one document and share it with the Book Lovers members. When it comes time to printing, I’ll know that the most update copy is available and everyone who wanted to comment will have!

The scope of applications is not just limited to borrowers. Currently I use my flash drive to alternate between two computers at the library which are unfortunately located at opposite ends of the office. Now, instead of flash drive in and flash drive out, it will be as simple process of accessing it online … that’s less time consuming.

Who knows where this will end!
