Google Docs

Ok, so I've been really busy and couldn't keep away from planning my April break....BUT... Here's what happened: for the first time (outside work) i used Google Docs. And it worked! (I know this is not school related, but...)
First, I've shared a file (list of music i need to have downloaded for our road trip) with my boyfriend, then he sent it back, marking ones he already had, and things that are in progress...
then i found a great compilation of music called 101 Best Driving Songs, so i sent him jpg. of the back of the disc, with all songs, so he knows what we have....and...
That's how i used Google Docs this week....as you can see, I'm really deep into planing my trip so it was inevitable to think/write/breathe about it.

"first week" of Gmailing

i've started using Gmail in may 2008, and since then it is my main email address (took over from my yahoo mail account).
before i started using it, i was very happy to see that my name is available to be my new email address...as my old yahoo wasn't really easy to remember (greenorge@yahoo.com)...and from that moment my email was my name.my last name@Gmail.com.
as i started using Gmail, first thing that was different was the way of storing emails, and whole filing system...so organized and so different. conversations instead of emails, labeling...sooo handy!
second, more than enough storage space, and a lot more.
then...Gmail chat...later gtalk.... opportunities for so much.
now...i'm on gmail all the time...even as i'm writing this, i'm arranging a night out with friends..on gmail chat.

all this i've just mentioned are great features of gmail that can easily have positive impact on student and teacher performances and communication and so many more. we just need to explore all the possibilities...and use them!

enough for the first time...i guess...
