BLOG 6

Another couple of weeks have gone by. We recently presented our workshop on Google Tools. I thought the presentation went very well. We chose to do the presentation on Google Books, Google Maps and Youtube. We had 6 people show up. It wasn't a full class, but still a good number of people. For Google books we basically just had them look up The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to allow them to see a full scanned version of the book online. Many of them really seemed to enjoy this because not only can you look up books online but also magazines. For Google Maps we just had them type in Heritage at Lowman just so they could see some of the features of the application. We also showed them the street view which a lot of them found very cool. The last thing we showed them was Youtube. We actually found a video of another event at the Heritage uploaded on there so we had them search for that video. A few of the audience members were actually in the video so they enjoyed that. Last week another group presented a workshop on OpenOffice Writer and the last group goes this week presenting Calc. I think all of the groups have done a great job so far and hopefully we can finish strong.
