So far I’ve opened a Gmail account but have not had much use for it. I wish I could use my normal e-mail since that would be more reflective of real life. Plus, when I do go to the Gmail site it’s not that clear on how o navigate. I tried signing up for g-talk and was not very successful. I will keep trying. I guess I just don’t see the necessity for using Google apps as opposed to using tools and applications one has been using for some time.
It seems to me that allowing use of familiar digital tools would facilitate digital learning secondary to in-place familiarity. Learning a new platform just adds to the learning curve in my opinion. I might change my mind if I become more acquainted and mentored with the apps but I have learned that much computer learning comes from trial and error and learning from mistakes. These days I feel like the king of trial and error.
