I found the video and links about Google Docs to be very helpful. I learned more ways to use Google Docs in the classroom. Some ways I thought Google Docs could be utilized in the classroom would be by having the students write a book report/review or make a group presentation about a topic. I like the idea of Google Docs because it takes out the process of saving, sending, and confusion that students and teachers have to go through when writing or creating projects. There is no more excuse for not being able to work on the activity or not be able to find it. The students can get any ones feed back and really get engaged in the project.
I think I might use Google Docs with my Social Studies group when we go a project in a couple weeks. I think this would be a great way for them to present their ideas. The other groups had to present the "old fashion" way, poster board. That was no fun at all. I think using the tool would make writing easier and more engaging. The students would be more apt to write and edit each others work.
