PLE3_Keynote

FROM KEYNOTES TO MOVIE OR PPT.




PLE2_iMovie

PLE2_Google Docs Movie

This is my PLE 2 for this week. I had a great time this weekend going through putting my music to my movie and trimming the clips as needed without having to call FSO or call one of my Technogals for guidance or screen share directions. I really had fun putting everything together!  





PLE1_VIMEO


I chose Vimeo as PLE 1. This is a web tool that is similar to Viddler.com which allows you to upload videos that you've created to share and collaborate with. It is a free service. Click the link above to try.

BP9_Google Docs






I decided to share Google Docs as my PE for this week. Google Docs is related to my Action Research Project and I thought it would be a great idea to share my findings with you.Google Docs is a free, Web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, form, and data storage service offered by Google. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users. Google Docs combines the features of Writely and Spreadsheets with a presentation program incorporating technology designed by Tonic Systems. Google Docs is Google's "software as a service" version of an office suite. Opened documents are automatically saved to prevent data loss, and a revision history is automatically kept. Individual documents may not exceed 1GB as of 13 January 2010, embedded images must not exceed 2MB each, and spreadsheets are limited to 256 columns, 200,000 cells, and 99 sheets. Google Docs serves as a collaborative tool for editing amongst users and non-users in real time. Documents can be shared, opened, and edited by multiple users at the same time. The application supports the ISO standard Open Document format. It also includes support for proprietary formats such as .doc and .xls as well as support for .docx and .xlsx.
Google Docs is one of many cloud computing document-sharing services. The majority of document-sharing services require user fees, whereas Google Docs is free. Google Docs also incorporates the ability to write code within documents in a similar way to VBA in Microsoft Office.
