Thing 16
Slideshare, yet another Thing I was not previously aware of. Again it seems a good idea, especially for getting a taste for what you think works as a presentation, and also for catching up on a conference that you were unable to attend. The presentations do seem rather sedate having spent last week playing with Prezi. However, I do think there is a place for both. I think a Prezi seems more enticing on a blog or website than Powerpoint but can't help feel it would be less appropriate for something serious.

Things 13-15
I had heard people refer to Prezi but I had never seen a presentation myself. I must say, I am very impressed! It is so much easier to use than Powerpoint and so much more dynamic. I did wonder if it would be a bit too much with things zooming in and out all over the place. Indeed my first attempt did make me feel rather seasick, but I remembered frames to group text and pictures together and was away! I struggled to embed my Prezi onto my blog but it seemed to be successful when I restricted viewers to simply going back and forward. I don't currently do presentations in my work but if I did I would definitely use Prezi! In fact, I have been so impressed that I have passed the existence of Prezi on to others.
At first I wasn't sure about the point of Doodle, as I thought you could just use Outlook. But then I realised that the beauty is that you can invite people through email, Facebook or Twitter and you don't need an account.
Survey Monkey is yet another useful Thing! The library where I did my traineeship used it to do a survey on satisfaction, which is so vital to service improvement/justification and with Survey Monkey it is so easy.
I do like my lists so was interested in RTM but I have Outlook for work and tend to use paper lists at home. I think RTM would be useful if I had internet on my phone, as I would be able to check my list wherever I was!
I used Google Docs during my Masters course. One of the modules consisted entirely of group work and Google Docs made it so much easier to work collaboratively.
