Content Management
There is a lot of information on the web and there are lots of files and programs to download and use. The challenge for users is how to best organise all of this. How do you organise your online content? Is your favourites bar a long list of unorganised web pages? Can you access your favourites from any computer?
The more we use computers the more we create, word documents, PDFs, pictures, video, music files some saved on our computer some online. As the volume of information and content is ever increasing it becomes important to have a strategy to organise your content in an effective way.
Organising Online Content
Home Page
Bookmarks
Using Bookmarks means you can access your favourite web sites from anycomputer, you can also share these sites with others and view other peoplesfavourites. Delicious is one service which lets you do this. Each page is tagged with a word or words to describe its contents e.g. 'spelling' or 'audio books'
News Feeds.
Instead of going to websites for information you can get any new updates from a site sent to your email, from there you can view it in your RSS Reader. This saves a lot of time and means you don't have to switch between multiple sites.
Google Reader
Google Reader is the RSS service for Gmail. When you are in Gmail you can access it by clicking on Reader at the top of the page.
Google Docs
Google Docs can be a useful way of engaging in writing practice with a student outside of contact time.
