DI Session 3.

These are some of the skills I have learnt and understood from this Friday’s PLG.

An Introduction to Calendars.

• Creating events.
• Inviting other people to events.
• Editing my calendar.
• Sharing my calendar / events with others.
• Accessing the calendars of colleagues.

Mail in my browser.

• Using “themes” to reset the background to my mail.
• Using “Undo Send” in my mail. Adjusting the time limit to the maximum of 30 seconds.
• Not leaving the mail site, or I Will lose the Undo Send option.
• How to do quicker searches, by using the words ”sent” and “from” to access or retrieve mail.
• Using the “archive” option.

Google Hangouts.

• Created an event on my calendar for Thursday 25 May 2017 @ 7:45am.
• Named this event “Digital Intensive”.
• Invited James Hopkins to hangout.

Google Hangouts Follow up.

• Could not connect initially. ( Google Hangouts denied access)
• Set up a new event for a different time on the same morning.
• Successfully connected with James.
• Initially had visuals but no audio.
• I then realised that the Activboard speakers were connected. This effectively cancelled out all the sound.
• Removed the connection and had a successful conversation.
