Google Documents

Lesson #5 opened a whole new world for me. As a publication writer and editor I have been frustrated by collecting documents and notes from a variety of contributors and then organizing the content into a single document. Often contributors submit more than once so the tracking of the most updated copy version was cumbersome. So I plan to write/edit the next issue of Today magazine in Google docs. I anticipate that I will find the process simplified.

I like the availability of blogs and editorial through RSS from professional associations about alumni relations programs. This is a good way for me to discover emerging trends in the field. I believe the more I learn about alumni relations the better a job I will be able to do in this area for Marymount College.

Today I played around with RSS. I really can see the value of RSS feeds. I am interested in learning more about higher education alumni relations programs so I have subscribed to some feeds that will daily add to my knowledge.

Messing up

I have actually messed up and posted comments on my own blog instead of adding to my own blog. Oh well, it's all part of the learning process.

I liked playing around with Flickr. I set up a yahoo account and then a flickr account. I want to practice more and actually upload some photos soon.

First Try at Blogging

This is so exciting. Entering the blogsphere makes me feel hipper and smarter. I can show my kids that their old school mom can really learn new tricks.
