From the first time I heard about Google Docs I knew it was going to be a good thing! I was a high school media specialist and immediately thought this could be the salvation of many a group project! Students can work together without having to BE together!
When NECC was in Atlanta, I listened to a presentation in the Google booth given by a teacher in California that used Google Docs to create and edit the school newspaper. I couldn’t wait to get back to school and do “show and tell” with my newspaper sponsors!
The interface seems to work easily. Even though there aren’t the bells and whistles that you have with Microsoft Office, it would certainly be great for students who don’t have Office applications on their home computers and students doing collaborative projects. I am a state officer for my professional organization and have worked on a large document together with other board members across the state. Distance is never a problem with Google Docs!
I want to gather family recipes before next year’s family reunion. I think I will start a Google Doc and invite family members to contribute! It should be easy!
