Task #7: Cloud Computing - Google Docs and Dropbox

This was a good task so I can get a better understanding of "the Cloud".
Free services are great! After some review I think the preference would be how you use the storage. Google docs is great for editing and documenting, also great for mobile access. Dropbox can also let you share whole files such as photos etc. So simple is good and a place for the more complex is even better.
This needs more time to understand and play with. Specific tasks in mind....

Task #10 - New Website

Great work on the new website! Goodbye drop-down menu!!
I love the layout, things are much easier to locate in multiple places. Also the library account log-in at the top is great.
At first the footer seemed rather large and too wordy but I think it will be a great tool for finding exactly what the patron wants.
I am anxious for the branches to each have their own pages!

Task #9 - Universal Class

I realized I had not blogged about this task! Redo...
I chose not to enroll in a class at this time but many were enticing. I can't believe the extensive list of courses to choose from. This is a great resource especially for someone who is thinking of any online courses to get a taste of technology and commitment.
My favorites would be the photography courses and the psychology information. I can see this also being useful for the serious learner as well as someone seeking a new hobby.
Great Resource!!
