I have played a little bit with several of the sites recommended by Learning 2.0 instructors. It was pretty easy to figure out how to post to a blog in Zoho. But Google Documents didn't seem so easy to figure out for posting to my blog. I had previously used Google Documents for the MLA sponsored Digging Deeper class and was pretty impressed with the features I used for that class.
I spent the most time playing with Snipshot. We have had occasion to take digital photos for going away celebrations and memory books and for library activities. Snipshot would have been very useful for cropping out store signs when we took a picture in front of our hospital sign for a retirement memory book.
30 Boxes looked like it could be fun to use also. But I use Outlook Calendar and Task features at work already. I don't see that 30 boxes would have many features I don't already have with Outlook calendar functions.
I think there are security and privacy concerns for all of the shared sites we have looked at. Those concerns crossed my mind last week as I requested an account for flickr and allowed flickr to communicate with my google account.

I know what you mean Lynn, I am not fully comfortable letting my different accounts talk to each other.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who have access to Outlook, for example, don't really need to use 30 boxes. Outlook is much more robust.
