Google Docs is Working Again

Hi All,

I'm not usually one to jump on the latest bandwagon but I must say that I do recommend Google Docs. If you haven't discovered it yet, Google Docs is a web based word processor. There are a couple of serious advantages to using it. If you use Google Docs for all your EWC work you will never run into the difficulty of working at home and then not being able to open your file on the school computers.

Secondly, if you use Google Docs you can access your work at home and at school without a usb key or emailing the file to yourself. It's not as fancy as Microsoft Word, but it certainly has everything you will need for EWC. Today was the only day in the past six months of me using the program that it hasn't been working. Certainly it hasn't let me down as often as Wordperfect.

So it's been a couple of days since I've heard from anyone. How did you find your first Journal Topic? What are some of your needs? Is there anyone who would like some help getting a blog up and running so that they don't need to have a journal?

I've also updated the Course Calendar. You may wish to bookmark it if you haven't already.

Write to me,

Mr. P

Chat about the Radio Play assignment

Hello,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm quite serious about using this blog to support what we are doing in class.

So far, with a little help with the reading, I've been doing most of the talking in class. Now that you are starting to get into the Radio Play assignment, I am certain that issues will start to arise. This is a great place to ask those questions because it provides a chance for me to publish my answers for the benefit of both absent and future students.

Remember, I promised that I would count any online participation the same way I would in-class participation. Who will be brave enough to be first?

Mr. P

Also, you might want to bookmark the course calendar so that you can find it easily.
