Google Docs

     I really liked using google docs for this week's assignment.  I think that it is really cool that multiple people can write on the same document and share information that way.  The first time I looked at my team's google doc, I noticed in the corner that it said someone else was online looking at the doc, and I could see everything that they were typing.  I thought that it was so cool.  I also really like that it auto saves every couple of seconds.  I am the type of person who will click the save button every 20 seconds, and it was really nice not having to do that during this assignment.
     I think that using google docs would be a great tool for the classroom.  I was unsure about it at first just because it was all really new to me, and I never tried it before, but after using it, I can definitely see how it would be beneficial in a classroom.  Students could use it to work on research projects together, or just talk to each other in general.  A teacher could even make their own google doc for the whole class for if students have questions, that way everyone can see the question and answer which would benefit everyone.

  1. I'm glad to hear you liked the features of a google docs collaborative assignment. I'm eager to hear about your ideas for how it might be used with YOUR students.
