I really enjoyed learning about Google docs. I think they will be a great resources to use in a classroom. I imagine that when I'm teaching, I'll have computer and work and then another computer at home, and I can already see some problems arising. I can use Google docs to store my information so I will be able to access it from any computer.
As far as incorporating it into my lesson plans, I think it is a great tool for students to use when working on group projects or peer editing. This way they won't have to email each other attachments and there won't be problems with opening the attachments depending on how the file is saved, etc. It is a great resource to use and allows the students to work on it based on their own, individual schedules.

- My name is Alice, but my friends just call me Allie. I grew in a small town around Grand Rapids. I spent my freshman year of college at Grand Valley but then decided to come to MSU after that (which turned out to be a great decision!) I'm planning on becoming an elementary teacher after I graduate.
That is a good point about a school and home computer. I had not thought of that! Usually I would solve that problem with a flash drive but then what if i lose it or it gets damaged? Google docs would be a great way to have access to files all of the time! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow I never thought of that either...but now it seems so obvious! I remember having a job where I had a computer at work but had to do things at home - definite pain to copy things onto a flash drive, work on it at home, and resave it on the work computer. Google docs would definitely solve that problem!
