After reading the tutorials, I was a bit more confused since it was too much information for my brain. I couldn´t believe there were so many features out there to help us collaborate with others. For this reason, I decided to start with Dr. Barrett´s advice and get familiarized with Google Drive since I use Gmail and I knew more about this option. I have also used Dropbox, but after comparing them I noticed that Google Apps is more complex and enables us to do more things.

I watched the tutorials which are embedded to the website, and I felt so much better since I could understand how to use it. I was also amazed by the idea of being able to work with others from different locations in real time. I also tried to create documents, share stuff and so on so as to make it more practical. That is how I learnt how to embed videos on the blog.

I feel I´ve wasted so much time because there are hundreds of tools available that I didn´t know of before we started this course. At the same time, I´m really happy to get involved in this technological era. We need to consider that many of our students are really good at these things. This means that we need to keep up with them and try to be up-to-date. I believe this is the real challenge for teachers at the moment.
