PHOTOBOOK INDEXING & CLOUD COMPUTING WITH GOOGLE TOOLS)

A busy day doing computerpals stuff, first I visited our Secretary (who knows the name of every member!) to get names of members who appear in my recent photobook.

  Because the book is a small history of our Club, I decided to name those members shown in the book. Orders have been received for 14 re-prints of the photobook.

 Thanks Margaret for your help, you are a wonderful Club secretary who is so knowledgeable and involved with our Club and its members.


After leaving Margaret, I had a quick lunch and then drove into Parramatta for Trainer Bing's one-day Cloud Computing using Google Tools course. Although the club uses Google Drive for our course timetables, waiting list, meeting agenda, etc, I signed up for Bing's course to learn the its finer points.

There were four of us students, Peter, George, Ray (pictured with Bing) and myself.

Our two hour course went fast, and by the end we were able to use Google Drive to store and share documents, pictures, etc...and to use Google Web apps to create and edit Word processing files.

One of the benefits of using Drive is that you are able to access your stored items anywhere in the world, on your own computer,laptop, tablet or smart phone... and also on any other computer,etc simply by being online and signing into your Google account. Google provides 15gb free storage for all Google devices, including Drive.

Next week I'll be doing another cloud computing course, Dropbox with Deborah......................
