Google Docs

I've used Google Docs before as an easy way to access my work as I move between computers. The document is always available at any library workstation or even from home. It was a lifesaver when Callaway didn't have access to the psdesk. Now I use it at home and for backup storage.

I've also used Google Docs to collaborate with others on the board of the Missouri State Genealogical Association and with my local writer's group. The genealogy board uses a google spreadsheet to keep track of work that is passed from member to member thoughout the state. My writing group uses Google docs for critiquing.

But I've never even thought about posting to my blog from Google Docs! So this is something new and I will try to do it.

Online Learning at MIT

This is the second section of our DBRL training. I just watched a slide show all about inserting an image in a blog. Although I have done this before - I blundered into it using an entirely different method than than the one Brandy described. So, I did learn something new and I will attempt to duplicate Brandy's lesson.

Since Online learning is our theme, I want to post a link and a picture from one of my favorite online learning sites: Online learning at MIT OpenCourseWare. The site offers free lecture notes, exams, and videos from virtually all MIT courses. There is no fee and no required registration. I can drop by the site any time, choose what I want to learn, and stop whenever I decide. There are no credits offered, of course, but what you learn here will serve you well on a physical campus or on the job.

Waiting for the next assignment

I'm waiting for the next assignment in our NetTrek training. Meanwhile, I thought I would post a photo I took of our library recently. The colorful leaves on the trees are all gone now, but the library is still beautiful. It's also one of the busiest places in town.
