Web 2.0 project is one of the most beneficial projects that gave
me many benefits. I believe that training others makes big deference in
understanding something, just like I did benefited from some training which conducted
by others and some were not powerful in giving or training us in a proper way. In my training I prepared a training plan in
which I specified the outline, time and resources was the main reason that
enabled me to perform very well during my session. The lovely thing about MIS
course is that finally we have to practice the tools by ourselves and write
about them in our website. This is my post for my blog and I am posting my
reflection on web 2.0 tools organized from the most preferable tool to the
least favorite one.
Google Sites
Was fun to learn how to create a website and add all our learning
from MIS project. I was able to create my own themes. I think in the future if I will have a
business I will design my company’s website.
Google Searching
This tool helped me to find out what I am looking for through
following specific tips. After learning the techniques, I applied them in all
my research topics to save my time and efforts. Also was useful for our project
when we were looking for resources from the web.
Blogs
Is my best tool and I and my friend gave the training to our
class. We started our own blogs and
learned many things and delivered it to our class. I will continue my blog and will always post something
useful to my readers about families, children, good habits, UAE and many
things.
Gmail
I is the best thing I learned after the blogs and I used my Gmail
for all my other tools which I needed to loge in. Very pour full tool in since of connecting to
other tools such as Facebook, Blog, Twitter and other Google tools. All my friends will communicate after the college
through Gmail accounts.
Google Docs
During our studies we used Google docs and shared a document with
others to work on our projects. Also we
create other applications (such as presentations, word documents and
spreadsheets) through and edit them together. I believe that Google docs is a safe place for
storing my documents and can make people edit or comment on my work.
Google Chrome
I have put all my applications which I use most in there when I open
it, such as Google sites, Facebook, Twitter, Google search, Google drive and
blog. It is fast and easy to find what I
want to log in by bookmarking my needs.
But still I am using Windows Internet Explorer to search for what I need.
Google Picasa
It is great software that enables me to edit my photos, add text to them and
create movies very easily in a short time and make albums. I found it much better
than using Photoshop. There is some
small problems in editing my original photos where it makes the changes in it
and do not keep the original. I travel
every year and with this software I can make a short video of my photos.
Twitter, Facebook and blog:
I connected them by when I found any videos in YouTube I send it
to my twitter, Facebook and blog at the same time. In
twitter I always post short messages about useful things. I like it a lot and
use it in a daily basis to post my tweets and view others’ tweets. Also from the Facebook I found my old friends
and connected with them and know about their life little more and share videos
and photos with them. This three tools
will continue using them every day.
Google Earth
Fun in finding places and locate roads. Also will use it in future to locate the
place I will visit to see places and take maps of cities.
Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google News
and Google Finance
Are the ones did not understand much from the trainers but still
can use them in future in projects or for personal use.
