#Task 8

I initially had a little bit of trouble accessing certain components of igoogle at work. Once at home I was able to have a little fun with it.  It certainly has some good aspects and some time wasting aspects (although I do like the little hamster running around his wheel)

Google certainly looks like a great place to work; the youtube videos were quite interesting to watch.  It would seem that they would be able to attract and keep valuable employees with extras like those. However I am guessing (like in any workplace) that there are good and bad aspets.

Have a great week.

#Task 5, 6 & 7

Hi, I have been having computer troubles and couldn't get on, but I am back.

Google Docs, Google Maps and Google Books are all great products.  I have used Google Maps before, but it was still fun to play around with and try different things under the disguise of professional development!

Google books is a great product and will be beneficial with my area of work (teacher librarian).  At times I have had trouble finding suppliers of certain books.  Now I have somewhere to go when this happens.
