Thing 8

I feel proud of myself right now. I have an understanding of Google Docs and before today I did not know what it was. I had heard our secretaries use the term but thought it must be something they use in the office. Little did I know that I might find it useful also. The students I work with usually have a difficult time writing and I can see that using Google Docs may entice them to write collaboratively, produce more, and actually have fun doing the work. This "thing" gave me a reason, (the assignment), to learn about Google Docs and gave me the confidence to continue playing around with it so I can use it with my students.

  1. A very practical reason for schools using Google Docs is IT'S FREE! No more upgrading to the latest and greatest version of Microsoft office that costs a lot of money and seems to create more problems than it solves. I also enjoy having access to all of my docs from any internet connected computer.
