Up to this point I have been posting to this blog as "Band Leader". From now on I'm going to be posting as "Jason". Just an FYI
I believe I've told most of the Worship band that our plan is to use various google online tools for collaboration and better communication/organization.
Google Account/ Google Docs
If you're still perhaps a little confused when I mention our "google account" or "Google Docs", well you definitely need to watch the following Youtube videos. The first one describes exactly what Google documents does and is for. The second one describes how to get yourself a google account. (Especially if you're the type that needs your hand held when doing anything new. :))
Current Band Members have received in the last several weeks in their e-mail addresses an invitation I sent inviting them to to contribute to this blog. Some of you have already done so. If you respond to the invitation , you will be directed to get a google account so that you can contribute. Video # 2 is about filling out the registration page.
The first five minutes of the following video illustrates how Google Calendar can be used on a team. (The video puts the emphasis on using it to market a company event, but it's a good overview for any type of team or group that wants to use google calendar.
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syafzhi7f24Some of this may be new and may take some time to familiarize yourself with. I'm confident that ya'll are intelligent enough to figure it out though :) Remember, learning takes effort. (See the quote below).
""Vanity inclines us to find faults any where rather than in ourselves.
He that reads and grows no wiser seldom suspects his own deficiency;
but complains of hard words and obscure sentences,
and asks why books are written which cannot be understood."
-Samuel Johnson
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more musings about online collaboration!
