Get Your Head out of in the Clouds!
Donna Gilliland, President of MOSTraining
Once upon a time the term "get your head out of the clouds" meant you weren’t being productive. Times have changed and if your head isn’t in the clouds these days you could be losing productivity and career leverage. What is cloud computing? In simple, working in the cloud is the delivery of applications via the Internet, which are accessed via a web browser. Many cloud productivity tools are free and powerful, like Google Docs and Gmail. The team collaboration benefits are of tremendous value – you can easily create and share documents. Instead of collaborating on a document by sending the document back and forth as an attachment, you can store the document in the cloud using Google apps. Coworkers can access the web-based document simultaneously in their browsers and make changes that other authorized users can see in real-time thus eliminating attachment round-trips. Teams can work together efficiently from within the cloud.
Google: Donna takes us step-by-step through each of Google’s free apps for email, calendar sharing and document sharing to help boost our productivity. We will also explore what Google+ has to offer to the business community. Who knew a “Hang Out” could be so productive? You will be on cloud 9 after this three-hour morning session.
Evernote: Create and save text notes, webpage clips, snapshots, to-dos, PDFs, and more. Capture all of your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations, into a single place. Access everything whenever you need it from your PC, even when offline. This interactive two-hour afternoon workshop will be packed full of fun and productive applications and hands-on training. Donna will introduce us to a number of useful Evernote functions and concepts that will help you start remembering everything.
