TASK #1 

The assignment was to use and familiarize ourselves with Google Calendar, MyOffice on FaceBook, ZOHO Porject, and Yugma.

Google Calendar: Google Calendar is used to setup for coordination and collaboration for meeting, project, or any need for follow-up; similarly Microsoft Outlook. Since we have an account with Google mail or Gmail from our previous “learning units” it facilitated for us the use of their calendar, called Google Calendar. This type of calendar has collaboration for public or certain group/people we choose to have access to all functions of our calendar events. Also I was able to import my group events to my so we can synchronize and plan ahead for what we have if there is a time constraint. I think that this program would be useful among work project or large families. The best feature that I like is that you can merge calendars with any other user. Thus, you could see when each other is busy or has plans. Using this calendar was very easy and user friendly. I probably would use this calendar in the near future.

MyOffice by FaceBook :

MyOffice enabled me to create a project and share with my group. We are all contributing in this project. We can collaborate, add and change the project process and any important event pertaining to the project. It has less capabilities then ZOHO project. This was interesting and pretty good.

This was interesting and pretty good. I didn’t like the layout of the program. This also allows your group to collaborate and use it for different fields such as with friends or co-workers on a single project. It has very neat features that are very helpful for task handling.

ZOHO project:

This program has wider capabilities in handling projects and what pertain to them, from collaboration to milestone handling. It is very helpful to get information of every task we did in our group project. This program seems to be more convenient and more user friendly for a team working on a single (or multiple) projects over the internet. This program has a lot of features.

YUGMA:  This is really a very great program, and its capabilities are yet to be discovered. I signed up with the free trail about 2 weeks ago and I was allowed a 14 days and it is about to expire; I believe it will turn automatically to the free account. I can share and collaborate virtually with my class instantaneously. I was happy to see and share the others desktops remotely. It seems similar to net meeting with much better communication capabilities and collaborations, form chatting recording the session and replaying it as well. Hopefully in the near future I can collaborate with my team or coworkers at work and over the internet many task and responsibilities…

TASK #2

I saw one colleague mentioning Phixr, http://www.phixr.com/ also I did find it in my research for Learning unit # 8. I tried it, it is a bit different than other program I used in the past; to find all the operational keys to enhance a picture or to create one. I was able to complete some modification on the picture I had on my desktop. I think I am used to use the non- web-based software.
