Google Apps: Assignment 4.4

The Google apps I have used since my last blog post are as follows: 
  •  Google Drive 
  • Google Sheets 
  • Google Meet 
 My favorite feature is how similar Google Sheets are to Microsoft Excel. The transition is fairly seamless and I am thrilled that I am learning Google Sheets at the same time as learning Microsoft Excel. The paired learning is very helpful (albeit somewhat confusing at times lol). I also LOVE the ability to share photos on Google Drive. This has been incredibly helpful as some of my social-media adverse family members want to see homecoming photos. I can just hand them my phone with the google drive folder pulled up and we can see these photos anywhere without it slowing down my phone at all. That is by far my favorite feature! A new feature that I learned was being able to add photos and links and even drawings to Google Sheets! It makes sense since I was able to learn that in Microsoft Excel but I never knew Google Sheets had that feature as well! Excited to be elarning a lot!!

Reflections on Google Apps {so far}

One new feature I didn't know about was adding a contact off of a Google Word document. I do love the seamless transition between all of the Google apps, it reminds me of how Apple is also consistent between devices. If I can manage my notifications correctly, I can see the reminders on the calendar being very helpful to stay ontop of all my different schedules.

First Impressions of Blogging and Blogger

Image
My experience with blogging is actually exclusively through Blogger. I used to have a blog, because once upon a time I was hopeful that my ideas were worthy of the internet. And they were, I do believe that most things (that don't harm others) are worthy of the internet. I have enjoyed seeing how Blogger has evolved and how modern it seems to have become. The upgrades are nice and I love the sleek feel to it. I am excited to utilize Blogger and to continue to make writing more of a daily practice (like we did in OPT Bootcamp). My favorite part was customizing the blog with photos and seeing the size difference and pixel capacity of Blogger. When I was trying to become a "blogger" (now, refered to as an "influencer"), the largest size option for photos were that of a poloroid. I was delighted to scroll through a few photograph options before deciding on my wedding day photo. I am also excited to see what layouts my classmates choose!

Reflections on Forms and Slides

Image
Google Apps, while a challenging and time intensive course, has proven to give us the creative outlet that a lot of us crave.  I have very much enjoyed the personalization options, and also the ability to add in more personality to our assignments. I really appreciate how well all the courses are tying together (keyboarding class makes assignments more efficient, Microsoft Powerpoint has helped a lot in my understanding of Slides). While I took some creative liberty with the last assignment and more viewed it as a reflection of my honeymoon in Hawaii last year, I really enjoyed piecing together a presentation.  It very much reminded me of the prehistoric days before social media. A business version of sharing my travels, if you will.  My favorite part about the slides was the transitions, and how easy it was to add personal videos or photos (as long as I put it in a findable place on Google Drive). I appreciate the ability to do that quite easily.  A photo that did n...
