Week 3 of Communicating Electronically

This week our class introduced us to one note, which I haven't used before. I can see that this is a program I would find useful. We had a group lesson today, which was interesting, we were able to share our notes. 

Did some research on the Anti - Spam Act relating to email.

Most of the lessons are new to me, so trying to get it all together in class is a bit of a challenge.

Week 2, Email and Google Calendar

This week in Communicating Electronically I have gained allot of useful knowledge on  Email Etiquette which I will find useful for personal and business communication.

Google calendar was interesting to learn. I haven't utilized electronic calendars in the past. My way is still the "old" way,  a Collins Desk Diary and a calendar which I hang in the kitchen. This has always worked for me. I do use my mobile phone for reminders occasionally, it is also my alarm clock.

Once I update my mobile phone, which will allow me to sync my Google calendar's with my laptop, I will find it more useful I'm sure. 

The only downfall of the electronic system is if the technology fails, no internet connection, computer or phone breaks ect. So I believe having a paper copy of schedules and diary's is important.

Looking forward to my next class, I'm finding it very interesting.

REFLECTIONS ON MY FIRST COMMUNICATING ELECTRONICALLY CLASS

I have enjoyed my first class. Gmail has been a little confusing to use at times as I do not really use it much. Learning how to navigate through the menus has been helpful. With use it will become easier and I may use my account more often. I think Google accounts are great for people to stay connected if they want to.
I haven't studied for quite some years, so for me this has been a big step. My son is 13 years old now and a bit more independent leaving me with more time on my hands to do something for me. I'm really glad that I have taken this step, i look forward to future classes.
