I enjoyed looking at the tools that are available online for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. If you didn't have access to Microsoft Word and Excel this could be very helpful. We do have a shared drive at work that we can save documents to that can be accessed by others and I think our network would be more secure than saving them online.

I like the 30 boxes calendar program. I use Calendar Creator and keep most of my important dates in that and make annual calendars for most of my family with important dates. If I didn't use that I think that the 30 boxes would work for keeping track of important things you don't want to forget. At work I do use microsoft outlook.

I have enjoyed taking this class to learn about the online stuff that is available.

I spent some time looking at all the links to read about wikis and learn what they are about. I'm not really sure that this will be something that I will use.

I can see where it would be useful if you have several people working on a project and they can all edit and make the changes necessary. If a person were planning a conference I could see where it would be useful to put all the conference information in one place.

I do, however, think that it could get a bit disorganized and there might not be enough control.

I have taken a look at flickr and set up an account. This has been a very confusing day to say the least. When trying to get into my blog account I have had nothing but trouble.

This will take alot more practice to ever get good at it. Part of the problem is the time needed to complete the exercises and doing that without interruptions is next to impossible.

The following was an interesting photo found on flickr.

I have seen RSS alot, but never understood what it was. This has been a very interesting lesson and exercise. I can see that if you change the way you get updates and put them all in your Google Reader Account it could save you some time.

I hope to be able to work on this, learn more about it and begin to use it.
