Google Docs & Chat

In class we explored a little more into what goole docs is all about and it was so much fun. I am glad that i could learn how to use it because i'm a big fan of wikis and having students put up their ideas in a community of their peers and just saying what they think. The google docs was a little different format than most wikis i have heard about, but i loved the way that the collaboration worked. It was so great to work together and be able to put a paper together. I really think that this is something that students would really like, being able to work together and I could, as the teacher, watch their progress and help them focus their project so they get things right the first time around. Google docs is defineitly something i will use right now. I work on my papers at home and then maybe i want to work on a paper in the computer lab so i would have to email it to myself or bring it on a jump drive. It is so much easier just to do work on google docs and then to be able to access it from anywhere.
