3. Strengthening Ties Sunday, September 2, 2007 Initial thoughts re E-Tools at Cluster Meeting Just some interesting stats from cluster meeting. The question was:- Do the following tools have value in your business or teaching practice? Results:- Discovere- Yes (100%) Survey Monkey - Yes (89%) Maybe ( 11%) 2nd Life - Yes (50%), Maybe ( 20%), No(30%) You tube - Yes Yes (59%), Maybe ( 41%) Deli.cious - Yes Yes (100%) Flickr - Yes (73%), Maybe 27%) I will collate the data from Survey Monkey ( post cluster meeting) this week and post on blog site. I have introduced Youtube and Flickr in my computer class. I have used Youtube as a teaching tool finding videos on customer service to use in retail class. Survey Monkey- is easy to use and I like the different layouts and the different question options. See you in Discovere on 3.9.07
