Google Docs Word Processor

Hi everyone,
I did my first word documents on for my cloud computing class. I got started a bit late so I didn't collaborate with anyone yet, maybe I should have. I put photos in them, but when the pages were e-mailed to me they were not where I put them when I created the document. I will have to figure out why. Otherwise I don't think it was too bad. I just don't think I am catching on as quickly as others might because of some of my distractions at home.

This is the beginning of the first page of my attempts at Word Processing and getting the photo's in the right place. On this page it is wright. When it is e-mailed the photo's are not in the wright place.
Also, other things bug me when I go to documents; sometimes when I want to view a document it gives me a weird screen this a partial window of the word processing window. I can only see about 1 inch of the document at one time. I go back and try to open it a different was in hopes that I can get the whole thing. and I do, but for the life of me I could not explain what I do to get it. I just try something and it works, I just can't remember what worked when I do it again so I just have to trial and error over and over again.

I do hope I can get the hang of this stuff. It is cool stuff and can be useful, If you can get the hang of it.
Sincerely
Sherry

Google Calendars and Cloud computing

Google Calendars and Cloud computing

Hi,
I am taking a Cloud computing class and so far it is really exciting. I have learned that my Gmail account has so much to offer, in keeping my e-mails organized and Actual Life organized as well. I never took the time before the class to find out what "google" is all about. I thought that it was a good surch engin, and I loved using the "Gmail," but all the other features is offers I thought  I wasn't interested in or didn't have the time.
I was just happy to get e-mails from my daughter and sister with photos in them without problems.

Now I discover that not only is there iGoogle (which is a home page) the Calendar is really cool.
I have made a Calendar of sorts for my own events from time to time in Word, but never kept up with them.
I love my calendar on google becausse I has an option to stop appointments automaticly once a program has ended.  I also like the smiley faces I can put on the dates, and the fact that when I click on the date I will get the contact numbers and cost information, or any other info about the appointment that I need, and it won't be on a postit note where it could get lost.

I don't know if you can see it, but I had fun putting in all the info on all the dates needed, and being able to switch it from day, to week, to Month. I would like to experiment with the size the pictures are when I post them. I think they are too small to see any detail.
Have a woulderful day and I'll blog again soon

My iGoogle

Hay everybody iGoogle is really Cool!!!

      It is like a msm homepage, but I control the layout and what is on it. I love it. My husband always gets the news on msn home page since we do not have cable and not satellite.  I would never spend a lot of time on the home page. I would go to other things that interested me, and now I can have iGoogle and put on it what I am interested in. I can put up my e-mail, and weather here my son is out of state. I really like it. Check it out. I wish I could make the photo larger so you can see my iGoogle in more detail.

Check it out.

My Gmail

Hi again,
        I learned a lot about my gmail that I didn't know. I knew Google has a lot of cool stuff one can do, but I never took the time to use any of them. All I ever do is check my e-mail and send e-mail and send documents and photos from my e-mail. I sort of put files to sort my messages, but I really didn't filter the messages. Now I have fun filtering all my e-mails, and I made it all pretty. I didn't know I could change the back ground or theme of how it all looks. Colorizing is cool!!!
       I also didn't know about the to do list. I may really start using that to keep my life a little more organized.
So the following is an example of what cool stuff I can do so far. I encourage more people to get to know all the cool feachers of Gmail and Google.

Have fun!!    Sherry

Cloud Computing Introduction

Hi everyone,
       I am taking a cloud computing class because now that my 4 kids are grown up enough and can take care of themselves (my younger being nearly 17), I am going back to school the finally get an AA degree and be better trained for the workforce, because I lost my job two years ago (8 years experience in retail) and was not able to find another job. My husband said that we couldn't afford me to go to school, and I said we can't afford not to sent me to school. I won!!
      So, to make a long story short (ya I know, too late), I had to take Micro-Computer class, I thought I knew enough about computers, especially since goal is health major related. I loved it!!! I found out about Ecel!! Awsome program!!! Access is cool to! It was really fun taking the class, and I couldn't get enough.
       I asked my professor about the Cloud Computing course and it sounded like more of what I learned in Micro-computer, except in the Internet "Cloud."  It is like being at work in a business office without having to be there. Some one can collaborate with a business project, share files, documents, advertising, presentations, you name it and can get instant feedback from someone on another computer in another room, office or even State instantly.  
    I haven't found any disadvantages yet, because I am new to all of this, but I think it will be a great asset to getting employed in the job market these days.
    Wish me luck in my new found education endeavors.!!!
