Module 3

What is google docs?


Google™ Docs is a Web-based word processor, presentation and spreadsheet application. It allows you to collaborate online in real-time with other users.




After I watched the video on google docs....


I went to atomic learning, the tutorial was very informative. I created a google document and shared it with a teacher.

 



I think it is a great idea having one document to share with others, rather than always emailing attachments back and forth. As a secretary I've done the latter and it's hard to keep up with copies coming back and forth and often causes headaches and an abundance of emails sitting in your inbox.

Module 2

In this module I have discovered blogs and how they can be used. It wasn't really too difficult to create my own blog after watching the “how to create a blog with Blogger”which I was surprised. I will be adding to the blog throughout the course. I have added my blog URL to the 'Blog Details Wik- Semester One A-C' so it can be easily accessed.

What is a blog?

A blog is basically like an online journal maintained by one or several people, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.


I have looked at a few blogs.


on cooking, gardening and photography.. great ideas!!!




I believe that we need to be aware that what is being written in a Blog is not always fact and that at times, the information found in a blog is the author's opinion. Not only must we respect these opinions but also be aware that when commenting on a blog this means there is a public audience.

I have yet to reply to other staff members' blogs to comment on their posts.
