You Tube Videos

What happened to all of my You Tube videos?

Social Networking

I am amazed by all of the different social networking sites there are out there. I am familiar with facebook and myspace but that was about it. I found the RN2RN interesting with definitely. Ning offers many social networking sites that are tailored to your personal interests and professional interests. I always considered social networking to be a network to keep in touch with friend. By signing up for Ning and participating in this Thing, I have learned that social networking is also a way to streamline resources for people and bring people together with similar interests and professional goals. Very useful

Collaborative Tools

I can see the potential of ease with transmission of a document for others input and ability to revise and make changes. I can see this as a very useful tool. However, what I found upon uploading a Word document to Google Docs, the format of the document changed. How do you maintain the format from Word to the Google Docs? When I save from Google Docs to a Word format the format from Google Docs is consistent with the saved document. Why does it not work from Word uploaded to Google Docs? If the format remained the same, this would be an extremely useful tool for the development of curriculms and policies, etc. Any advice to make this work? Is Google Docs compatible with certain Microsoft versions?
