Create a post about your discovery. Be sure to create a link back to the site where you found your tool. What did you like or dislike about the tool? What were the site’s useful features? Could you see any applications for its use in a school or library setting?
I am investigating Google Docs. My wife has been using it for some time and has high regards for the tool. This is my first time using it. I like that I have storage space and can save files to it for use at any computer. I also like that I can share things with those I choose to share with. What I find particularly helpful is that you or others can share changes in real time. I can share folders with colleagues or student groups and give permissions to edit or just view. I am a math person so I really like Equation Editor! I can't list all the features that are available. Drawing, spreadsheets, surveys, PowerPoint's, word processing, ... are just a few of the many more things that you can do on google docs. Images, tables, templates, and more for use in your presentations.
I can see this being used to track students who are falling behind, collaborate and share ideas amongst teachers, or even share notes with the students. Team work amongst teachers who are preparing lessons for the students. I can come up with many ideas, its the incorporating that takes the effort.
Ok, my wife just helped me create a survey to collect information in a spreadsheet. Oh my, the possibilities are endless.
