RE: [info-tech] Board Policy mangement
I've been discussing this with our board secretary recently. She uses Word, keeps all the files on her computer, backed up to a flash drive, and every time there are revisions, she burns the whole set of documents to CDs and mails them to the board members, telling them to throw away their previous CD. We've been discussing using Google Docs for this. She likes that idea, and I don't see any big problems with it, other than uploading a lot of Word documents. Any thoughts on that? --- Timothy A.

Limbert Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 10:03 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Board Policy mangement I've been discussing this with our board secretary recently. She uses Word, keeps all the files on her computer, backed up to a flash drive, and every time there are revisions, she burns the whole set of documents to CDs and mails them to the board members, telling them to throw away their previous CD. We've been discussing using Google Docs for this. She likes that idea, and I don't see any big problems with it, other than uploading a lot of Word documents. Any thoughts on that? --- Timothy A.
