Week 11: Online applications

Ahhh... I'm on familiar ground with this lesson. I have already been using Google docs to work on committees that are geographically widespread, also Google Groups for storing committee files etc. that are accessible to everyone.

I have found Zamzar very useful for converting files to PDF - something I need to do suprisingly often. Doc2PDF online is very good too.

I have yet to fully explore the project management tools that are out there but find I am living more and more of my 'life' online so no doubt will begin using them as well.

Using any different programs requires a bit of flexibility - I have used Open Office as well and found I had to think more about things I could do automatically in programs I am more familiar with but perhaps that mental agility is something to keep developing as we age anyway?
