Thing 6

Google Docs: I have 4 different computers that I use fairly regularly. I think Google Docs is great for storing my documents on....so I don't have to have a jump drive with me everywhere. I still don't always remember to use it. I need to change this habit.

Collaborating. I have used it to set up shared sign up sheets.

I have used wikis to look up information (wikipedia, the ITS wiki), but I haven't created my own shared wiki yet. (Unless you count my Flicker account.) I have created a photo share group on Flickr so I can share photos with my extended family of different get togethers and old photos.

That experience has been interesting. Different family members will go there to view photos, but so far most of them won't post there photos. They are mostly older and a little intimidated by the technology.

Is the Google Docs sign-up sheet still going well? Hope so!

Using Flickr is absolutely applicable to this class .... sharing, openness, multiple users, etc. Glad you are using it!

Love the sign-up online for the computer labs. It is really helpful(and I did not think I would like using it!).

I still haven't gotten into Flickr. Think I would want to spend all my time on it as I love photography. I guess that will be my retirement site.
Great use of Google docs.
