Google Docs
Last Week during CEP 452 lecture, we dipped our toes in what Google Docs has to offer. I later went home and really played with Google Docs. Google Docs are amazing. They have so much to offer. I loved the forms and that is a great way to make an informal assessment or just a survey to get to know your students. Google Docs will really help with group projects. I love the fact that people can be at home working on their section of a group project in the comfort of their home. Recently I had a group project and I suggested to my group mates that we create a Google Doc to work on our project with. My groups had no idea what a Google Doc so I briefly showed them, and they were all impressed and loved that we had a Google Doc. There is a lot of potential for Google Docs and being used in the classroom.

I love that you used Google Docs in another class for another group project after learning about it and using it in CEP just last week. Hopefully you were able to show your group members what Google Docs is and they liked it so that they can use it in their other classes as well! I agree that it is nice that this can be used at home. It also eliminates the need for constantly emailing the same document back and forth after edits have been made by each group member.
ReplyDeleteI think this is very interesting blog post. I love google docs. They are a great way for everyone to collaborate and for example if you are doing a group project the old task of emailing the presentation to someone after any change was made can be thrown out because with google docs everyone can make changes anytime they want and sometimes meeting is not even necessary.
