Thing #16 - Google Documents

No more excuses about one person writing up a lab because the other kids couldn't get together. Google docs solves the problem. Tasks to be sure the students complete before their adventure on google docs include

1) in service on how to use google docs
2) create the accounts needed
3) exchange the email addresses and determine lead creator (for first version and inviting of others to edit)
4) assignment of parts and self reporting what parts you completed or edited.

HMM- yet again any tips teachers have for using with students would be appreciated.

Professionally I see google docs as a way to complete a presentation without having to get together and meet and save a different flash drives a million times. I did have problems with the presentation options on the google docs - I could not get it to save. I could get documents to save but just not the presentations.

Thanks for an introduction to this great tool.
