There were a few rainbows in the CLOUD this week
Many of the tools we are using are very handy for all sorts of things. My favorite one of this week, was the research tool in the google document. I really enjoy how user friendly it is. There is not a bunch of junk I have to sort through, of tabs I have to go back and forth from. It is all just there, as convenient as can be.
Now as for the Microsoft 365, I am going to be a little harsh here, but that is the most horrible thing I have tried to navigate through in a long time. I tried to set up a computer for my mother with a similar interface, and I did not have the patience. For me personally, it may as well have been in Greek. First of all you need other people to be using Sharepoint to share things with them. That is just plain an outdated thing to do. Documents should be shareable easily with many different recipients, regardless of what system they are using. Another gripe I had with this was that each time I tried to click on something to take me somewhere, a second screen popped up telling me to go here, or log into this other account. I can see why that would happen, all one account, that last thing I need is any more account information or passwords to remember. Now I will say that I spent a total of an hour on both this class and helping my mother try to use this platform. I think maybe if you were used to it you could overcome, but for me I will stick with what I know, unless there is something extra special that only they can provide me with.
Feeling I had when using Microsoft 365
I thought I did not even use the cloud that much, then I opened the driver to find that I have hundreds of documents on it! I think it is what happens when I look at them in my Gmail. I am glad to know they are all there, and I feel inspired to clean some things off my computer and not be afraid I will never see it again. It is hard to trust digital things for me, but I am going to make a point to work on it.
