Since, I missed class on Thursday I had to listen to the recording. Which was very helpful to do. After listening to the recording I learned even more information that I did not know. I'm excited about my graduate studies journey. I still can't believe I made it this far! I'm very sadden at the fact that any of my professors before did not tell their students about the DropBox. Do you guys know how much time, worrying, and procrastination that would have saved me?!? TONS! I was so excited about the online storage service, I found myself explaining it to my mother. Dropbox is the best right now. I'm not a huge fan of Evernote though. It's more work to me, or too much going on. Dropbox is easy and helps you get straight to the point.
It's cool that I learned what you can possible use web cam's in classrooms for. I was soooo against it, until I heard the possibilities you can use them for. I guess exercising our mind is not so hard! Every time I heard an idea what you can use them for I kept telling myself "oh" lol. Also, I started following some people blogs!
I can't wait until our next course starts. I'm ready to learn more and continue working with this great group of people. I can honestly say that so far I'm happy that I started this program. Now we are down one class and on to the next one (class).
Until next time....
I'm also not a huge fan of Evernote just yet. Not because it is not a cool idea but mostly because it just doesn't fit my lifestyle/needs right now. A huge drawback for me is the amount of time it would take to scan, record, or simply document enough things to make it useful for me. If I was a salesman on the road and wanted a quick way to document ideas and experiences I think it would have a much greater appeal but that's just not me, ha. I will admit that I was impressed with it's capabilities to search for text within pictures and pdf documents, though.
ReplyDeleteThe online storage sites were pretty awesome though. My only fear is that I will get hooked on it and the 5GB free storage won't be enough which will mean that I'll be adding another monthly fee to my overworked credit card, lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
