Item 18: Google Docs

Okay I watched the common Craft Video "Google Docs in Plain English", I thought that it was very informative I also took the "Quick Tour" to find out more. I made a little presentation which was fun doing I tried to put it on my blog as a page element but my presentation was too wide so it wouldn't fit, I looked but could not find how to make it fit so here is my link http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=dgfbd6j8_6hp2phqfb

I hope you enjoy. Overall I did have fun with the google Docs but some areas I found were confusing.

Cool Stuff

I had fun with the cool stuff. I thought that the blog readability test was okay. I did not care for the sketchcast. I really like scrabulous and word shoot. On scrabulous I played the computer and lost, so then I played by myself it really made you think which is hard to do at the end of the day. Word Shoot you had to be fast. I did look at the Yahoo answers but I did not try it. All in all I had great time with the cool stuff.

Wikis Wikis

What I learned about Wikis is that they let multiple users add, remove and edit content and you don't need to understand HTML. My concern would be the accuracy of some of the wikis, can you really trust the content as being true. Over all I like the idea of them I like the example they gave in video about the friends going on a hiking/camping trip, I think it would be great to use if your planning a family reunion and you have people all over the country that you need input from. I liked Wikipedia I know my daughter uses this one alot. I have never used a Wiki before but now that I am more familiar with them I will be checking them out and maybe find one that I can put information on myself.
