PE5_Google Docs

I am about 1 hour and 20 minutes into the 4.5 hour long Lynda tutorial for the Google Documents application. I have learned all about the basics of file management on the system, and how to share anything I create within the application or in other software programs like Word, Open Office, and any type of PDF. I have also learned about the template gallery, and how to search more efficiently.

Much of the information I am getting from the introductory tutorials, I already understood, but there have been so many little tid bits of information in between everything that will make my life easier when managing documents this way. I am glad we had the opportunity to learn about Google Doc's before using it in our next class. I am looking forward to the part when the tutorials go beyond what I know...which will be very soon :)

The first thing I will make is a spread sheet to track my son's Cub Scout den in their badge completion. I do not have very much experience dealing with spread sheets so I am going to wait until I get a little further into the tutorials to tackle this task. Hopefully I will post it for my final practical experience blog ,then I will send the link to all of the den members.
