What every college student should know!!!!

For the second part of our class this week, Dr. Smirnova worked with us on the computer in the library. This was such a huge help! I am glad she gave us the opportunity to go through our sites and ask questions.


After she walked us through our WIKI sites on PbWorks, she gave us a quick little tutorial on Google tools. Did you know that Gmail is NOT just another email program???? I thought is was, until Thursday that is!!!! Dr. Smirnova showed us how it has email, chat (video, online, and phone), but it also has Google Docs. This is what every college student should know!!!

This program is built in your email and can be accessed anywhere you access your email! Google Docs is a free, web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, form, and data storage service. It enables you to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with others. Lets say you have to do a group project; you can chat on the right side of the screen and type your work in the middle-what you type appears on your partner's screen!!!!! They have tons of templates for almost EVERYTHING!!! You can even create multiple choice tests with this program!!!!!!

I am blown away! It is like having MS Office anywhere you need it only better!!!!! All of you papers, and presentations are stored right in your google docs--who needs a flash drive?! This program is amazing it does everything! If you haven't seen it yet you must check it out! I am on my third college degree, if only I knew about this in the first two!!!! Life changing for me! I am so excited about this technology!!! She exposed us to a part of technology that we will use regularly throughout our careers!
