This was the first time I'd actively used Google Docs.
Although I'm relatively familiar with technology, google ceases to amaze. It is a great tool that can be utilised in my classroom and any classroom particularly activities involving collaboration and data collection. Being an english teacher Google Docs can be used particularly well with any unit as the course requires a lot of work in textual analysis and understanding which requires different views and opinions. It is also an area of great need for many students, thus using google docs. means that students can work together to battle through dense literature and at the same token learn from one another.
Its easy, simple, fun and is another way for students to work anywhere and anytime. Being able to edit and track the changes that students have made allows for the teacher to see the gradual progression into their deeper understanding of the texts and unit.
