I was looking for something like this not too long ago as a way to group edit a doc. I ended up using Word and posting it on the R drive, but this would have been a way for group members to access it from any computer--home or work. And the way it keeps track of edits looks interesting, too. I've only used Word's track edits once, so I'm not saavy enough to know which is better. And it's a little tough to judge how Google docs will work since I don't know if anyone that I shared the doc with is likely to play with it at all. (And if they do, will Google docs send the revision to that bizarre email address they assigned to me?) The assignment should have been to send the doc to someone else in 23 things and have them edit it so we could see what happens. I may never know...
Wow, was this fun! Maybe I do know how to play if I allow myself the time to do it (somehow it seems okay if it's a class mandate!) Anyhow, I took a digital photo, had a co-worker show me how to upload it, then got on Flikr, created an account and uploaded a few. My mind is racing about how we can use this in-house. I already found some Flikr photos of book displays and made a link on this blog; now I have created my own account where I can post photos of the displays that I do so that other branches can see and share ideas/materials. Perhaps we could all share an account and subscribe to the feed so we could regularly see what displays are being created at other branches. One enterprising co-worker already suggested setting up rotating display boxes so that when one branch works hard on a display it can be easily shipped around and shared. This may be a good way to get that rolling...now if only we could get everyone to USE this cool technology...!
