Finally Friday

Today in class we learned about google docs.  I have already been using docs for some time so most of this was review for me.  I helped my group members figure it out and we even read each others written responses using google docs.  I think this could be a great tool for our class and might even work better than the wiki.

WEDNESDAY 9-22

Adobe Connect was the main topic today in class.  This is a great tool that can be used in many situations.  If you have a class to be taught, or many clients around the world you want to give a presentation to, you can use this.  Businesses, schools, or just friends helping friends could use this software. 

Also today there was some discussion about the dropbox deadlines and confusion involving them.  We got that figured out and hopefully there are no more problems with the dropbox.

Monday Monday Monday

Well Monday in class we took a little time to catch up with things that people werent understanding in class.  My group discussed our final project and got some much needed information to each other.  We then took a look at Microsoft Outlook.  We learned how to use the appointment request feature.  This feature is something I never knew existed until class.

SC times

Mark Knaak from the St Cloud Times came to speak to us today.  He answered the questions that we had posted on d2l before.  I thought what he had to say was very interesting and helpful to mass communication majors.  I thought one of the most interesting things he told us what the reason he decided to go into journalism was.  It was when he was a kid in 1968, he claims this year had so much ground-breaking world news that he couldn't help but want to deliver the news to the world himself.

Wednesday 9-8

Today in class we talked more about networks and what they are.  Also we talked about different types of networks, such as WAN, wide area network, PAN, personal area, and many others like a campus network or a local area network.
