MLA Week 5

I like Google Docs because it was so easy to use. MS Office Live might be a contender since it works with all the other MS products that I have from work. I wouldn't put PHI or sensitive information on any of these tools. However, I have a lot of documents where sharing would be an advantage rather than us emailing version back and forth.

My workplace blocked facebook, so I didn't try the tools for this week from work. I'll have to see if I can do that. If enough people use these tools, I think there will be some allowance for them in the workplace.

However, my hospital will probably be about 10 years behind everybody else. We just got wireless through the hospital in the last 6 months. I can't see our IT Dept letting people use Google Docs or Zoho, but I think they will trust MS. I enjoyed this week the most I could see these tools have the greatest application. Plus, I had already heard of blogs, and wiki before. It certainly is a wonderful, wild world out there. I consider myself a person who is an early adopter, so I think it is great fun too. (There is something about making learning fun that really make people want to learn more)>
