Module 3 - Google Docs
Today I got back on track with the Web 2.0 course. I've just had a look at some interesting youtube videos outlining the importance of Google Docs and how they actually work. I think it is a great idea having one document to share with others, rather than always emailing attachments back and forth. I've done the latter and it's hard to keep up with copies coming back and forth and often causes headaches and an abundance of emails sitting in your inbox.
Google Docs makes life so much easier by allowing all people involved to edit and work on the same document. I would definitely consider using these with my colleagues, in particular my grade partner. We could use it to edit assessments, worksheets, timetables and much more. I don't see my Kindergarten class using it, but it's certainly a worthwhile tool for teachers.
What a great idea!!! The SRC could really benefit from some of these ideas. Looking forward to putting our heads together to find a way to incorporate these ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat job :)
This whole idea of 'working in the cloud' will become very important in the near future...once we get our internet connectivity sorted out. Until then, I don't think that Google Docs will necessarily be used by primary students (the 13+ age limit for users) but could be great for staff.
