THING 9

I finished thing 9,watched the video,took the google docs tour,very interesting.This would have been very helpful for my daughters, for all their group projects in school.I have to do a lot more exploring to see how I can use this in my personal life.

Thing 9

Google docs is pretty neat. So much better than attachments to everybody. I can not think of any way I could use it, I don't even E-mail people. But could see where if you were a big company and working with spread sheets WOW would that be helpful.

Thing 9 - Google Docs

After becoming familiar with Google docs, I am impressed.  I love the fact that it constantly saves your document as you are typing it in (which would be beneficial to those who forget to save and the computer crashes!) and the fact that the real-time collaboration feature allows multiple people (only ones that you invite) to make edits to a document and you would only have a single document with all the changes instead of having to incorporate changes from multiple documents.  The word processing software appears to have the standard document, presentation, and spreadsheet features you would need.  I think this would be very beneficial in that you can access your documents on any computer and you can set them to private so no one else can access them.  It also has a feature where you can drag and drop from your desktop into google docs, but I couldn't get it to work on the city system.  I think google documents is a good tool and I would recommend to patrons to use.

THING8

I finished thing 8: signed up for Diigo account,joined Largo library group, shared 3 sites : enchanted learning- Hamburger Morgenpost[my hometown newspaper] and the food network. I only use my computer at home , where I have all my favorites set up for easy use and I do not feel comfortable with public sharing , so I do not see myself using this for anything other than work.

Thing 9

I can see that Google Docs would be helpful to others and to me. Almost every day, people email copies of their resumes to themselves. If they would put that resume on Googledocs, it could be more easily edited and they could share it with others better than if they used email.
