It is interesting to notice that as I began taking this course (kicking and screaming against technology) I also received a very involved calling in a ward that uses nothing but google docs. Hello crash course to technology! My bishop texts me when he needs things, it's hilarious to me. But also helpful. Yesterday I forgot about one of my weekly meetings (in my defense, I don't even remember being told about this one) and he was able to text me and remind me and I was there only about fifteen minutes late! Yay for texting! But as for google docs, bless them! They have saved my life! Our ward directory is on a google doc, our calling list is on a google doc, visiting teaching is on a google doc, and the list goes on.
I chose to use a google site for my class site because I'm so familiar with google. I think the google sites are a little more user friendly, but that's just an opinion. Most of the things I've done on my blog have taken some time and study to figure out (yes, I am aware that I sound pathetic) and I knew I wanted something a little easier than Blogger is for me. It was also very simple to add a google calendar to a google site and since I knew how to do a google calendar already my choice was pretty cut and dry. But just to make sure no one thinks I hate Blogger, I tried to do one on WordPress first and it was even more complicated to me. So yay for Blogger : ) I also wanted to try out a different site than what I'm using for my blog. We're supposed to be exploring different sites and options, right?
A person's history is in the way they view the world. That's where truth is. As Dumbledore said, "Of course it's in your head but why should that make it any less real?"
I actually would prefer everyone to explore different options, so yes! I just don't require it because I worry it will be too overwhelming to learn too many new things.
