I have created this blog to discuss my ideas on electronic portfolios to support lifelong learning. I hope to share some of my concerns about the current direction of electronic portfolios in Higher Education and K-12 schools.

GoogleDocs updates
Lots of upgrades to GoogleDocs were announced yesterday! The tools are accessible offline using Google Gears, "an open source project that enables more powerful web applications, by adding new features to your web browser." Now all of my documents are also stored on my computer, so that I can work on them even when I am not connected to the Internet. Once connected, the files are synchronized. GoogleDocs is also available from mobile phones through a special interface. I just found a short video on YouTube that describes the offline access to GoogleDocs.
I've had Google Gears installed for some time. It used to amuse me that Zoho let you work offline, but Google docs didn't!
ReplyDeleteI tried to do the off line stuff today & it seemed to save, but as far as I could tell, I couldn't get it to actually work offline. It just kept taking me to a login page & then telling me I wasn't online.
I'll try again later.
