Learning Unit 10

1 I’ll return and edit this post with the correct link once everyone has finished their final edits on the google document. I’d hate to upload a half finished copy to scribd. I’ll check the document at 12 and see if there are any people still editing, if not I’ll upload the document then.

(UPDATE) It’s nearly 2AM, so here’s what’s been written on the social networking platforms.

4 Managing so information A copy of my post is below:

Before I started this semester I was using Gmail for professional correspondence, and my yahoo account for friends, family and websites. I would check my email two or three times a day, each account individually. I also had an account on Facebook to keep track of friends from school, which at the time I would check once a day for messages and other social information. I also used the internet to keep track of certain publications and even a few web comics. I would usually check these after my mail in the mornings.

Since I’ve started this class I’ve consolidated everything into Google’s home page using several helpful widgets. I’ve connected all of the random web pages that I check for updates into an RSS feed which is linked to a Google widget, along with two other widgets to connect to my e-mail accounts. Now when I log into my Google account I have immediate access to all of my new mail and the option to view any new articles or posts among the blogs, comics and articles of which I am a fan. I’ve even gone so far as to add a Facebook widget to Firefox so I don’t even have to log into the site to check messages.

A nice little bonus that I hadn’t considered when I started consolidating all of my interests was the ability to access all of these sites anywhere. I didn’t need to keep track of all the sites through my bookmarks, and could check everything from any computer.

A Copy of a Conversation with Dr. Alam Was an additional section that I added to the management group as the bequest of Dr. Alam.
