My Last Post .. Web 2.0 Project


Web 2.0 project was one of the most beneficial projects I would carry out many years even after graduation. This project enables me to implement both presentation and training skills that I leaned. It was never easy to give training in a new subject for students in only 20 mints but I’m proud I didn't with a very high score.

      

Gmail:

I create Gmail account just for the course but then I realized that the capacity of the email exceeds the Hotmail capacity. I also can save my folders, Photos, documents in Google Drive and that enable me to work even if I don’t have internet. It also helped me a lot in organizing me emails based on the categories.

  

Blogs:

I enjoyed using this tool, it allowed me to share my interest with people around and especially with people with same interest. Now I can write about everything I lean about horses and how to take care of them. I’m planning to create a new page a put all the Equestrian Clubs numbers and address. I faced some problems while designing my blog, whenever I want to add a new gadget with Java code it doesn't accept it.


Google Chrome:

From my personal experience I feel Google Chrome is much better and greater than Internet Explorer. It made my life much easier and I saved a lot of time while doing my projects. Google Chrome has a very high speed in browsing and downloading. Now I’m used to it and I don’t want to change it to nay browsing server at all.

Google Searching:

I was using Google search even before college, it’s very useful engine that gave me the exact information I’m looking for. Now I know more than before, the advance option enable me to use Google in a daily bases and for everything. For instance I know the current time in everywhere in the global, the weather as well as books and authors.

Google Calendar:

Google calendar is my Secretary with only by one click I can book an appointment and cancel it. People who share Google+ can know my time table. The most I like is that I don’t have to browse it, but I can download my Google calendar in my smart phone easily and that allows me to view my calendar even if the mail is closed.


Google Docs:

As much as I was looking forward to use this tool as much as I don’t want to today. It’s very useful tool but I didn't liked it very much, as it’s very slow and I can’t copy or past my work. It keeps changing the fonts, color, alignment and the sizes, which means that I have to do the work twice. 
I used the program in my project management course and but I had to do the work in Microsoft Ward and past it the Google Docs. However, I enjoyed doing the forms (survey) it helped me a lot in my Industry Project.

Google Sites:

As much as I faced difficulties in school where I have to create a website as much as enjoyed it MIS, in school we used to use Front page to create our webpages however in year 1 we used Dreamweaver.  Google site allowed me to add picture, videos, tables, etc. in easy way. I’m working know on my new site that will allow me to put all picture of my new business. And that will help me a lot to make mu clients know all the updates.

Google Earth and Google Map:

The most interesting features that Google provide, I adore them. Whenever I need to know about any country I go directly to Google earth or Google Map, they provide me with pictures videos and some information that helped me a lot in my life, they combines all the information I need in one place so I don’t have to go and search for the weather, traffic, hotels, historical places etc. related to the place I'm looking for. 

Google Finance:

I think that this is a very good feature that I could use in my studies, however, we only knew about it in our last semester. I also think that the page need to be more organized, as much as it’s useful but the think it’s complicated to find the exact information.


Google Picasa:

The great software that assists me to edit my photos and make videos, although the program is very nice but I didn't like the saving option of the program. It always saves the edited picture on the original ones.

Twitter:

I use to have a twitter account before the session and I think that was the reason why Mr. Tridib assigned me to conduct training on it. I was very happy since I love using twitter and I wanted my friends to use it. I post tweet on a daily basis, re-tweet others tweets and relay their enquirers.


Facebook:

 Facebook is a social utility that links people with their friends, family, coworkers and others who live around them. I was one of Facebook fans previously but now I hardly use it. But I admitted that it’s very nice tool that people can use to share ideas, photos and online chatting. Business also can benefit from this site, and they can generate more money out of it. For me I used to play social games using my Facebook account and most of the games were not free. That is why I anything related to social such as games, business, etc. can benefit much. 


Recommendation:

I suggest that this course have to given to foundations or year one students that will help them a lot in the following years. especially that most of these features are helpful in the projects.
