computing /collaboration tools in your life

After watching the video on Google docs I believe it can be a useful tool in my life. I see myself using Google docs more than cloud computing. I really do not understand the objective of cloud computing. So, I find that Google docs will benefit me. Not only for academic purposes but for personal use as well. Google docs will come in handy when there are group assignments that must turned in. This will be more time efficient, and more organized. When it comes to personal use , I regularly keep in touch with family through e-mail. So in a way Google docs can be used so that the entire family is able to see what's happening in my life. The collaboration tool can be useful to anyone.

Technological Tools

Some technological tools that I have used in classes are facebook, online textbooks, and my personal cell phone. I did not realize facebook would become a resource that I would use in college. For example one of my professors uses facebook for us to watch videos and post comments on our views of the different videos. For studying purposes I cannot say that I have used technology as a resource to help me. When I study I normally use my lecture notes, my textbooks, and sometimes I study in groups with classmates. These different techniques give me adequate preparation for exams. Although I do not use technology to help me study, it’s a wonderful tool to utilize in the classroom.  As technology evolves the different styles of teaching should evolve as well. But to every positive there is a negative. The down fall to using technology as a way of teaching is students find ways to cheat. But I am almost positive that technology will find a way to block students from doing this.

Business and Technology

Being a business management major with a track in HR, technology impacts my major and career in many different aspects. For example with social media being so popular, it’s a way HR can advertise job openings, employee discounts, or even promotions that the company is offering. In respect with my major having advanced Microsoft computer skills is a must. People in HR use technology software daily to keep track of pay roll and sorts of documents in order to keep a business in line. For example when using careerbuilder.com most jobs in HR require that you have advanced computer skills. In particular this job as a HR secretary:
