My learning goals for this assignment.
I would like to become competent in utilising what Google apps has to offer to a point where I can organise and manage my own communications, information, and files etc. There are various streams of my personal life where this would be useful. As well I would like to take advantage of the apps available, including some of the third party apps and exploring how best I can get them to work for me with both my personal and professional work.
I would like to know what it means to "extend my knowledge to the professional realm", however I suspect I will have to focus on a more practical experience using the tools.
It will be interesting to set up this site. I feel like I am new to all of this, however I have some experience with a blog and basic workings with a website. Plus I have done some 'beginner' work with action script in Flash, so there are certain aspects of software knowledge that may help me. I feel I can work out page hierarchy and various other aspects of the site with some exploring.
I am interested in pursuing tools beyond the ones introduced here, as I am keen for a challenge. However I am yet to thoroughly investigate and learn all that is involved in this assignment, so I won't be moving on until I feel I have a good grasp of the tools available in the Google platform (and beyond). FYI: "and beyond" added two days before assignment one due!
