GoogleDocs

This week's course in MLA's Dig Deeper web2.0 series was all about document sharing using GoogleDocs. In part 1, we were supposed to create a document and share it with our workgroups, so that we could all practice inserting text, fixing, formatting, and commenting on it. That was simple enough. GoogleDocs acts a lot like other word processors, if maybe a little clunkier. The second exercise required everyone to create a survey of at least five questions and send it to everyone taking the class. Everyone was required to participate in at least 20 surveys, so that in the second part of the assignment, we would all have data that we could create some type of chart with. I started just taking every survey that came along; eventually, I realized I must have completed more than 20, so I became selective. Some surveys weren't relevant to me anyway. At any rate, here's the link to the chart I provided:

Jing and start-up

I discovered that Jing starts at start-up, and causes my computer to take an inordinate amount of time to start up. Why would anyone need this to be available every time they go on their computer? I have disabled it from being a start-up item. I have not resolved the sound problems, and I will try another program if I get a chance--maybe screentoaster.
