Thing 16

Wow!!! I LOVE Google Docs!! I wish i had known about this a long time ago!

How might you use this tool in your personal and professional life?

The easiest way to answer this is....for everything!!! What an I most excited to use it for??? Collaboration between my fellow science teacher and I. Back in the old days (last year) one of us would create the document and then email to the other for changes and then the first person would fix it (just like in the video). Then, somewhere down the line...a few days, weeks or months, the person who didn't create the document would need a copy so, the creator would have to print a copy up. This would save so much time! We could actually work together creating something and then both have access to it!!! Yippee!!


What issues come to mind about using this tool with students (ie, they need email addresses to log-in)?

I'm sure it wouldn't be too long before someone "shares" something they shouldn't. I work with middle school students. Enough said!!!!
