As an accounting student we don't use lots of technology in our studying ... However, this course we studied MIS (Management Information system) given us the opportunity to practice new ways of learning by taking the innovation to take a topic and do a training or teaching session … I had conduct a training session about Diggo introducing it to my classmate and also a teaching session about the Telecommunications, the Internet and Wireless Technology … Enjoying every minutes …. Furthermore, I had learned about other tools in web 2.0 by my classmate, which I will be ranking each one of them of 10 ... were I find the usefulness from ..!
I was an internet explorer user until I was introduced to Google chrome … I find it more interest and useful … the way it’s remember each search I do make it easy for me to research it again, and also the apps they provide it was so beneficial specially the offline apps were I can log in to my email even if I was not connecting to the net … moreover, the quality of the result when it comes to search for PDF, PPT, WORD are very high and helped me with my subjects a lots even for my daily life searching for movies or reading news etc.. For me 10/10
Diigo, the most effecting social bookmark … was a very valuable tool for my subjects … when you searching for a topic and liking a paragraph all you have to do is get to diigo and you can highlight the information you find, you might write a note for you to read later … save the link under the subject and it will appear in your library in diigo page to refer to it in anytime … you can also crap a pictures, share the information directly through Email, Twitter, Google+, Facebook with your colleagues … for me 10/10 !
I am not an organize person at all so using Google Calendar for my daily life or for deadline and meeting’s was not an interest thing … However, what I did like that I can set a meeting and have a video call, but the location and save the number of the person to contact him for any reason … also, you can put a reminder through receiving email or SMS … this tool could beneficial people who loved be organize but for me I peace of note is enough for me to remember … 6.5/10
Google map, a very useful tool specially for my phone … here in Dubai there is always a new road made and old one close with this tool I used it to take me to the place I want to go to I can see some pictures of the place, recommending from other people post and also I can see the traffic and the pest road to go from without getting into the traffics, see how long will take in minutes and kilo to reach … For me 10/10 !
Blogger, sharing your thought, opinion, values and views … I had a background about blogs but never try to use one … it was fun, interesting to do one … I share some of my opinion in politics because when I talk with my friend, family always shutting me up so this was a pleasant way to share them .. or share a bout a restaurant you try and give your feedback about to others … 8/10 !
Google+ a decent tool to use to share post, pictures, video etc… and also you can use Hangout to have a video call not only on your laptop but also on your phones …. Having an event and inventing others to it …. Also you can chose a community of your interest with people you even don’t know about sharing thoughts and pictures, videos on that topic … 8/10 !
Picasa, and Editing tool … it will organize all your folders so it will be easy for you just to click on the folder chose the picture and start your editing ... you might also have a college picture were you have the full photos of an folder all in one big pictures or you can use it to do a small video of the pictures and write a caption on them … for me I don’t use lots of editing tools and if I do I just use what I have in my phone, not that much useful for me … 6/10 !
Prezi, a unique way to present your information with … however, I feel it’s hard and a time consuming … and you can’t be so creative when it comes to theme font, the way you present the point it all will be on the slide you can just pop one after the other… but you have a lots of creative themes and inserting photos and videos … I used it for 2 different subjects … 6.5/10 !
Google Site, away to create your open website with your own thought ... for me I used it for a project were I share my overall view on a web 2.0 tools in more details with captures and steps ... rather than that I don't feel that I want to used in it in near future .... 6.5/10 !
Google Drive and Drpobox, tools used online to work with and share it at the same time easy and simple ... I used dropbox more that Google drive ... using it to save the pictures and i can log to it from any device ... 7/10 !
Google Docs, working online on words, excel sheet, survey and others ... easy to share and work with group member comments, look into the progress of other member editing them for any mistake ... 8.5/10 !
