This week we learned about Google Docs. It is an application of Google that actually allows you to create a document, and share it with whoever you allow. The movie showed in class was the descriptive portrayal on how the program works and it's various uses. The docs application really gets rid of the hassle of having an attachment to put in an e-mail. A lot of the time the e-mails don't go through or match up to the other person's computer. Google Docs allows for all versions of a document made on the program to be matched up and easily shared.
In the educational system, this is a great tool to use, and I had no idea that it even existed before this class. I realized that taking attendance, editing student's papers and even field trip forms could all sit in one program. This is could be scary if your computer crashes, but with Google Docs, it's all right there on the internet, available from any computer. I also feel that teachers can come together and share lesson plans to make sure they are all on the right track or at least have some idea. Google Docs seems great and I plan to use it a lot.
I chose this video because it is a tutorial for teachers in Google Docs. I plan on being a teacher and this video shows the organizing patterns you can pick up to be organized and have everything written down in the perfect file or folder.
