My Chart

I used Google Maps to create this tour. It was very easy to find significant locations on the hike even though you would think since this is such an out of the way activity that it'd be harder to find specifics on the trail, but nope! It was intuitive, quick, and easy.

Cloud Computing For Me

The Cloud service I use, and will continue to use, is Google Drive. I've always used it for my written documents and reminders and such but now that I've learned about all the robust features of Google in this class then I have even more reason to stick with it. Especially since it's free and that's one of the biggest selling points for me!

But I also use Dropbox. In one of my programming classes I had to use it to download files for projects and then reupload them after I'd worked on them. So far I've had no problems with it and it's pretty convenient for uploading completed projects, homework, etc.

QR Code

This QR code links to one of my favorite videos ever, and it's only five seconds so even if you don't like it, it won't take up much of your time. I created this in goo.gl which I never knew about before now. I don't have a smartphone so QR codes in general aren't very much use to me but it's still neat to know about this feature! Google is way more robust than I thought!

Google Calendar

Google Calendar will be very useful for me as I'm a student who has a very busy schedule that I have to keep track of. As such, being able to look at my upcoming week and decide what to prioritize will be extremely useful to me. I'll be using this for the rest of my school career and probably beyond.

Google, Bing, and Wolframalpha

This is the first time I've heard about Wolframalpha and now that I know of it I'll definitely plan to use it whenever I have a question for school or just want to know something. Other than that, I'll still be using my old search preferences: Bing for videos (since it shows relevant results from sites that aren't Youtube) and Google for everything else, like images and articles.
