Google drive and docs

Google drive 

The lesson on google drive and google docs was a real success. We were taken through topic that we never knew. Personally, I liked it very much because I knew it is going to be very useful. I never had the experience of using them.

Google Drive is an online office suite that includes a word processor (Google Docs), spreadsheet program (Sheets), and presentation tool (Slides). Google Drive includes storage space, which can be used to store information. It keeps our stuff in one place secure and up to date. We can access to the information on drive from anywhere and anytime.  Google drive can be also used for sharing documents and files. We can share photos, documents and presentations from different places. This can help us work with friends on the same thing at the same time. The other good thing is that our friends can edit, view and comment on our documents.

May be I can mention here what we can do with file on google drive. We can drag files into and out of the folder. We can rename files. The files and folders can be moved around. We can edit and save files. The unwanted files can be moved to trash. And one good advantage is that we can access our files even when we are not connected to the internet.

The practical hands-on experience on creating google drive was an eye opener.  This was more efficient than listening because it provided us an opportunity to really work with creating google drive online. This cleared our confusions.  I still remember the steps and know how to create it. We had the opportunity not only to create google drive but also how to use them. We practiced how to save our documents, how to delete them, how to transfer files, and how to work on the same files with other friends. This was a great experience.

Critical Analysis

I am getting this curious feeling now. Why do we have to wait for a formal training, workshops or classes to learn anything? We have the required facilities – the lap tops and the internet. Still why are we so ignorant? I remember we misplace important documents. At times we are far from our documents and we don’t have them when we want them. We try to call everyone and land up in frustration when things turned out to be ugly. We waste our resources. Why didn’t we explore all these facilities on internet? Do we really need to wait for formal classes? Had we known earlier that files can be saved on google drive; our work would have been much easier and lighter.

Now, I have realized that exploration is the key to learning. People have the intelligence to create things and it is sad that we do not have the intelligence to make use of them. We must be taught by someone else! We wait for someone to push up! Exploration is vital because it is going to make us discover something new in life. Everything can’t happen in workshops, classes and seminars. May be I can pass this message to our friends that let’s keep on exploring because that is going to bring out success and comfort in one’s life. I am proud that I have realized this through this particular session!!!
