Thing 13: Online Application and Tools

I have recently started using Google as a way to create and save documents.  I had previously wanted to use Dropbox but my school district has it as a blocked website and encourages us to use Google.  At first I was peeved, but once I explored all the things that Google has to offer I was actually very impressed.

It is very simple to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using Google.  All of my documents and logs for my practicum are saved in my Google Drive account.  This makes it so much easier for me to access them no matter where I am working.  Flash drives have always been my go-to but I worry that if I ever broke or lost it then I would be up a creek!  With Google, all of my stuff is saved "in the sky" and I feel much more confident about its longevity.

I have also used Google to create questionnaires.  I will be sending one out to the teachers at my new school as a way for me to find out their opinions about the library in the past and what they want to see from the library in the future.
