ADDITIONALLY - I am making a promise this semester to go absolutely paperless! There are a number of reasons why I don't want to use paper: paper is too expensive, most students do not value paper, papers are messy, papers are hard to keep up with, students lose papers, teachers lose papers, papers get dirty, papers rip, papers drop and fall out of order and so on and so on and so on... Those are just a few of the reasons why I don't use paper.
With this in mind all students in SOWK 300 will be required to get, use and maintain a Scribd account. Scribd is one of those free and amazing Web 2.0 tools that make document sharing as easy as pointing and clicking.

ReplyDeleteRegular sign up procedure, nothing special so it was a breeze. I wasn't expecting such a lively layout once I went to the website. I was expecting something kind of dull to be honest but I was proved wrong. The site is well set up. Scribd consists of a lot of things that people are interested and keep you from getting bored with the "same ole" things like most sites. I would recommend this to all of my peers because the site seems to be great.
ReplyDeleteThe set up was really simple. I have encountered problems in the past with computer crashes, flash drives not functioning properly, etc so i believe this is not only going to be beneficial in my success throughout this course but much needed for personal usage as well. I highly recommend that all faculty and staff use this site.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, the site seems quite intriguing. I am certain the features will be beneficial in the near future. The site grants access to a vast variety of reading material and allows you to upload different documents. My personal favorite aspect of the site is the "Best of the Day" feature. Because my profile was empty and bland, I attempted to upload a photo, but I had a little difficulty trying to crop it. Overall, I enjoyed the site, despite that minor glitch.
ReplyDeleteReally simple assignment. I know this will be useful and save A LOT of paper. Everything was easy to set up. This is a good way to back up files and not having to worry about losing them.

ReplyDeleteAt first I had a slight issue with finding out what my link was, but after a little bit I figured it out. I find it interesting and fortunate that the site is free. It’s also great to have another place to safely and securely store my work. I played around a little and I thought it was nice to find that I can sink my Google docs account to this one, which should certainly help streamline the upload process!
ReplyDeleteThis was quite easy to navigate and set up... Love it.
ReplyDeleteQuick and fast. Nothing is better than that.
