My Favorite Tools In 10 Installments: 1. Google Tools

I regularly get asked when I sleep, or how I “do it all”. I’m never really sure how to respond, I’m just me. I just go through my days, my routine and well do stuff. But I took a look around at some of the tools and shortcuts I use and thought I might do a little mini series. So here it is, in 10 installments! Some will be long (like this one) and some will be short. I hope you find something useful! Tool One: Google Tools It’s no secret I’m a Google fan, pretty much my whole professional life lives on Google. For that reason I use the Two Step Verification process and change my password frequently, especially after traveling or using unsecure wifi access. Call me crazy or paranoid if you like, but hey I’d be screwed if I ever lost access and you’re about to find out why. Calendar The Calendar, well actually 6 calendars if you count tasks which also shows up on the calendar and has its own color code (each calendar has its own color code). My primary or main calendar is my work calendar. This is important because I sync Outlook with my Google

My personally selected top 10 from the links I shared on Twitter from 5/14/2010 thru 5/20/2010 1. NYTimes: Cellphones Now Used More for Data Than for Calls – Phones are becoming indispensible tools, so more than just phones. Even better the people interviewed for the article aren’t teens or even in their 20s. 2. how ubiquitous computing & mobile devices will shape learning, working, socializing in 2020 via @dmlcentral Kids who have grown up stealing free views of recent movie releases online or regularly chatting with a friend in Bangalore or Atlanta will be working adults in a world where the notion of “work” has changed because of digital technology. But it’s no longer “technology” in 2020 anymore–it’s just how we get things done. This article makes the interesting point that  when technology truly does become ubiquitous, meaning we don’t even think about it we’ll turn our attention to things like art and science. But if technology and the ability to be connected disappear further into the background, what will occupy our foreground? A bit of the humanity we’ve always valued in the “real world. 3.

Becoming 2.0 – What 2.0 can do you for you

After much preperation the time has finally arrived!  This week I’m cohosting a Web 2.0 workshop sponsered by MOREnet and the Missouri State Library.  The topic – They asked us to talk about using Web 2.0 tools in your library!  Even better, my cohost and I created the whole thing using Google Docs.  How else are two people going to edit a presentation at all hours of the day and night?  These will not be on my slideshare account if you want to see them you’ll have to check them out on the wiki after the end of the week.  They wont all be up until the end of the workshop on Friday.  If you don’t have, don’t want or just aren’t signed into your Google account you can watch the presentation.  But if you want to get more from the presentation you should sign in.  If you log in with your Google account you can see the Speakers Notes.  You’ll be able to see the notes the speaker has entered for each slide, and in this case who is responsible for each section of the presentation.  Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Share on netvibes share via
