In the Clouds

This in the clouds module has been interesting, It has included a few useful tools some that I already use and some that I don't. Having a Gmail Account is great and makes it easy to use many of the programmes on offer. In this module we have covered, Google docs, Google calendars, Zoho Docs, LibraryThing and WorldCat. Using Zoho was good as I could import straight from the word document into my blog post which also meant I could play around with the layout and see how it would look, it also offers more word processing features, I think in this day and age when there is so much on offer it is great to be to use applications online rather than transferring from one computer to another via disc or a USB Pen, since there are already so many applications online for email and photos it makes sense to have calendars and word docs online also. LibraryThing and WorldCat are excellent examples of the In the Cloud phenomena and we can certainly take advantage of them in our jobs. It is great linking to Amazon and the covers of the books. &It is a definate advantage of Zoho that you can post straight to your blog, but hopefully when I this to my blog it will transfer the links.
