Get With the 21st Century, Becky!

When I think of something I do every day, I know I can include; 

• Brushing my teeth
• Eating 
• Googling something

So if I find myself on Google every day, why is it I am so dense in all things Google? Maybe it's because I am a Mac girl, or I could stop making excuses and admit I struggle to embrace new things. When people suggest using Google Drive, I always ignore the invitation and continue sending docs via email, dropbox, etc.  Well... here I am, hitting my head because I never took the time to accept this technology tool before. 

Last semester, I had to use Google to create a survey and I found that to be pretty user-friendly, but other than for this class, I never found myself using the tool. After reading and practicing Andrew Wichmann's tutorial on Google Drive provided in the e-book, I realized that Google Drive has a lot of benefits. After just this week, I have started using it as not a way to share information, but as a repository for housing my documents. All my drafts and documents are being stored there now so no matter where I am, I can access my work. It's a cloud, which when used properly is a great benefit. My next step now is to make my Google Drive account personalized, then it will truly feel like home!! :) 

What tools did you learn about this week?
