Finally,
we are reaching toward the end of this semester >> actually, the end of
the Bachelor Program >>> Yahoooooooooooo, I am very happy J
After
doing dozens of projects, today I would like to write a reflection about
“Google Tools Practical” project. I believe it is one of the most useful
projects, since it doesn’t deals only with our study, but it extend to be a
useful tool to be used in our daily life. At the beginning of the Management
Information System Course, we had to provide a training session for our class
mate about one of the Web 2.0 tools. After attending all the training sessions
about Web 2.0 tools, I become an addicted user of Google. I had developed a
Google site about how I have implemented each tool in my college and daily life.

In
this post, I will demonstrate my reflection on each of these tools. I organized
them by ascending rank from the most important to the least important J
1. Blog:
It is one of my most favorite tools because it allows me to share
my thoughts and interests with other. I
like following my friends, this allow me to know my friend better
J Although the Blog is part of my final project, I believe that I am going to continue to
post in it after submitting the project.

2. Google
Chrome:
I really become addicted to use Google Chrome, I set it as my
default browser. It is faster and has many nice features. The most things I
love in Google Chrome, is the
ability of the user to download different applications such as games, themes, entertainment tools and much more. Changing themes is one of my favorite Google Chrome applications.

3. Google
Picasa:
I like editing and designing photos. Therefore, Google Picasa is one of my favorite tools. It enables me to edit my pictures in a very simple way. Creating
photo collages is my favorite feature.
4. Social
Bookmarking (Delicious):
This was the tool that I provide a training session about it. It is
a very beneficial tool because it helped me to organize my favorite links in
one place and share it with other. Using Social Bookmarking website allowed me to have an access to my links from any
computer and any time.
5. Google
Sites:
It is a very useful and easy way to create an online website, even
if you are not an excellent in using website programs software. In the future,
if I need to create
a website, I will defiantly use Google Sites.

6. Google
Search:
Google search is an important tool
that I use every day. When I open my laptop, I always start my searching by
using Google search >>> I can’t live without it.
After learning about the searching techniques, I can use this tool
more efficiently.
7. Google
Docs:
It is a very useful tool especially if you are working in groups
and teams. You can edit your documents
with your group members and view their updates. Moreover, Google Docs will save
your documents automatically on the web so you don’t have to worry about losing
your project if your computer break-down. Although I think it is a very useful
tool, I didn’t use it in all my projects.
8. G-mail:
After attending the training session about G-mail, I switched to
G-mail since it allows me to label my e-mails and create filters which allow me
to organize my e-mails. I also, like the feature of changing the G-mail themes
>>> fabulous feature J
9. Google
Calendar:
It is a very helpful tool especially for students. It helps me to
organize my time by scheduling the times of my projects deadlines and exams, so
that I don’t forget them. I like the features that Google Calendar provide to
its user by giving them the advantages to share their calendars with others.
10. Twitter:
I don’t like social website. However, after the training session
about Twitter, I become an addicted user and I install it in my smart phone and
i-pad. I like following my friends’ tweets and it help me to keep in touch with
my friends from the high school.
11. Facebook:
I didn’t like this tool, since I don’t like to share my photos with
other. However,
after the training session I used it to keep in touch with my friends and view their
photos J

12. Google
Earth:
I like to use this tool to view
places I would like to visit. I think that I am going to use this tool when I
plan to travel. Also, this tool will allow me to view maps and directions of
some places >> I don’t like to use them, since I don’t understand them L
13. Google Reader:
Google Reader is a very useful tool. However, I didn't like it and I didn't use it a lot L
Overall,
this was a very useful project that allows me to learn many new tools that will
help me in my college, work and personal life. I believe that this project
should be given to all students from different majors because the learning
material is beneficial for all people regardless their majors.
