Well its been a while since my last post.....despite meaning to keep up interesting posts about my own dear homeland, time has run away with me as usual and I have added nothing. However, we are now doing our second Licence 2 Test Drive course so that will motivate me to keep going! Our first session covers online applications - possibly useful tools that we can use for free to help organise our lives and, as always with Web 2.0, SHARE!!
Google Docs is definitely a useful tool. I first started using it when I wanted to collaborate with my partner's extended family about the Christmas menu - we all bring something to the feast and it can be a pain making sure all courses are covered. Google Docs made it a lot easier, its true. Since then I haven't used it much I confess....how could I use it for work? Let me think......because we have the O Drive which is a shared drive I can't really see the point of adding another sharing application for documents. However, for smaller libraries that don't have a shared drive you could use it for all sorts of collaborative ventures..
Other applications I liked were Tada List and Jott. Tada List looks great for all those lists I keep meaning to write and never do. My main problem is remembering to look at the list!! However having them all in one place is a great notion - you could reuse old lists if need be...I definitely like it! The trouble is you have to be at a computer...which brings me to my other favourite....Jott enables you to "jot' down your thoughts via your mobile phone then email them to yourself or wherever you want...brilliant idea for those like me who keep forgetting things...I wonder if you can email them to your Tada list!!
