Google Docs

I could do an entire blog just on google docs. In fact, there IS an entire blog devoted to google docs! What exactly is google docs? watch the video below from YouTube which explains it very simply.



Idealy, I would love to have all students submit their research papers via google docs this year. This might be a stretch, so perhaps having a goal of having a large group of students submit this way would be more feasible. Miss Rini and I have talked about the advantages of this by having students use the available technology, it's a "greener" option, etc. I know our technology department is working on getting gmail accounts for our students, so this will help.

Another big advantage of using google docs is collaboration both for teachers and students. Students can peer edit each others' papers and teachers can also provide quicker feedback.

I envision google docs to be the wave of the future and I'm looking forward to incorporating it more and more into my teaching.
