Sept 24, 2010

Most of the day we familiarized ourselves with Google docs.  I set up my own account that lets you share documents with other classmates for easy peer reviewing.  We shared our first drafts in class with peers and got to evaluate our papers further.

Today in IM 260 we did a few different things.  First, we organized our wiki and discussed our written response papers.  Next, we talked a little bit about skype and how you can desktop share and record whole conversations.  We also had a fun time as a class playing around with Adobe connect.  Adobe connect is cool because you can have a discussion as a class outside of the classroom.  Adobe lets you use econference sharing, text, video, and photos.  This was my first experience with Adobe connect and it was interesting to learn about it.

Today in class we discussed web 1.0.  We also discussed the kaminksi article we had to read, and react to.  Some other things we discussed in class were final project related, as well as general issues regarding the class as a whole.  We got into our small groups and talked about certain issues we may be having so far in this class relating to course content.  We also got a glimpse at working with the outlook calender so that we can schedule meetings, and organize your personal calender.  I learned that the client version is somewhat easier because you can drag and drop opposed to the web version.
