Last night was a long night editing the presentation and the website. I will not use Google docs again. The final presentation today was good but it didn't feel polished. As a group we used Google docs because it was a way to edit the presentation from anywhere on any computer. From researching all the unit resources, Google docs is regularly referrred to, so we thought it would be a good way to present our assignment and none of us had used it before so we thought it would be good to try something new. This address is for the home page for Google Documents and from this page you click on "create new". We chose  "presentation" to start the Google docs form of Powerpoint :  https://docs.google.com/?tab=mo&authuser=0&pli=1#home . The basics are there, but there is no finesse to the end product, eg. no fancy transitions, limited choice of font styles. However, we managed it and we worked towards the rubric, so all categories were covered. We had even printed off copies of our presentation for the audience to view, must admit I felt a bit wary of doing this even though I prepared them as it was soon clear in the class that noone else was this prepared.
We did hit a problem in the last few weeks which I have already mentioned, which is that one of our group did not contribute even though she was supposed to do particular pages. We contacted Tandia during the week but received no reply. This morning, at 0830 during the start of the lecture, she texted Jasmine to state she was not attending, in fact she had dropped out of her degree. Thankfully I think we all saw it coming and had done the work she was suposed to do.
I am so pleased this part is all over as we really have put in so much work. Now for the task of 2B. My mind is still racing and that I forgot to mention that last night my brain became fuddled and couldn't remember how to link onto our presentation! A quick flick to my blog and I was fine again, otherwise I would have been trawling the Google docs help pages again.
