CEP810: Week 1: Xena vs. Zoho

It was a jam-packed week with lab activities and homework to complete.  I’ve already learned quite a bit in just the first session.  Collaboration features add value to productivity tools like Zoho and Google apps.  I felt like Xena the Warrior Princess wrestling with the Mighty Zoho especially when it didn’t do what I wanted it to do.  I was so dependent on MS Word in the past.  It was a test of will and willingness to learn new things.  I ended up understanding why a lot of schools and people use Google apps and Zoho. 

I’ve also experienced the efficiency of managing data and schedules when I created my own blog with a link to my internet calendar.  Netvibes helps me organize all my RSS feeds – I added 10 more feeds to the given 5 links which I will be watching and will be due in few weeks (10 on 10-10).  I cannot believe that Jing is free – it’s a very handy tool!

I wish I had super powers as I stared hard at the blank document and then started to write my Personal Development Plan.   I don’t think there’s a web tool to think and write for me yet.  Let me know if you find one!  I’m glad I had everything done on time though.

Well, I’m off to week two … so how’s your week?
