Google Docs


After attending the workshop which was about Google Docs, I really learned a lot. To illustrate, I noticed that Google Docs is an amazing powerful tool for people especially educators. It has great benefits including sharing and collaborating on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with other people anywhere they are and anytime they want.
The most important idea I learned is that Google Docs enables its users to work together in a same document at real time even if they are in different locations. It also allows them to edit and chat, so they do not need to send attachments back and forth. As a result, I would use it if I had a work group because sometimes I have trouble meeting my group.   
Since I have not worked yet, there are some ways I would use Google Docs. First of all, I would use it to upload all my presentations and documents I have made for my classes then share them with friends. In addition, I would recommend it to my friends and my family. For example, I have a sister and a brother who are teachers. I have noticed that they have some difficulties of sharing documents with their students and grading papers. By using Google Docs, they are going to solve all the problems easily. I think we should recommend teachers to use Google Docs, and I am sure they are going to love it. Students also would love it too. 
In simple words, it saves time and papers. By using Google Docs, we can discuss, share, collaborate, explore, and expand ideas with others around the world.

Deep Freeze

During my internship, I worked with Kevin Austin who is the Systems Administrator at College of Education and Human Services at Wright State University. For about five weeks, I 
learned how to update the software on machines and cards. In addition, I used a protecting system called "Deep Freeze".
Some of its benefits are  :
  • Computer stays frozen, so there is no need to worry about virus or spyware.  
  • No need to update.
  • No need to install and run the latest version of anti virus software, anti spyware  software , and software update . 
  • You do not need to worry about data loos due to hackers, viruses, and system crashes. 
  It is just a wonderful program for computers which are using in schools, universitiescolleges. As a result, they would not loose any data that they removed by mistakes.
