TPL 23 Things #6

I opened the Google email account at home and seemed to have no trouble getting on Google Docs. I did have a hard time trying to enter something on a shared document from my TPL computer. I kept getting a message that we weren't connected and I couldn't save anything. When I got home I tried my computer and everything went really well. So ...I am a bit concerned that I fowled up somewhere along the line. Any suggestions? I know it has to be something I have done because everyone else seems to be sailing through this assignment.

This (or something similar) could definitely be used by TPL. Since the edits can be tracked you could check who had changed the document and when. I think it would be good used for things like the What's On submissions. We send in our programmes. Marketing emails and tells us to check them a few months later. We do so and email back changes. If this was all done on one sheet and monitored by Marketing we could save a bit of time.

I also know when I was writing submissions for the Union way back when we would discuss the document and have one person write it from notes or divide up the topics (you do the argument around pay equity, you the history and background, etc.). We had to copy, email or meet, discuss and rewrite constantly. This might make that process easier (probably still just as contentious). Another great tool. I can't think what you have up your sleeve next.

P.S. I can never find the spellcheck option on these things. I am sure "collaborate" is not a word
