Google Docs and Google Sites

This week in class I learned Google docs and how to edit my Google site.

I really liked both although it was kind of stressful cramming the information all together like that. I believe that both of these things (Google docs, and Google Sites) will be very beneficial in my classroom. I have already used Google Docs in other classes this week. Before we were sharing information by email, editing things and then re emailing them back to our groups. This wonderful thing has saved time for me and helped me to complete the tasks in a easier fashion. I love Google Docs it makes it possible for me to view information on my computer at home without having to have the updated Microsoft Office. I have the 2003 version. I can't wait to be able to share the Google sites with my colleges because although most teachers know technology many of them graduated like 15-20 years ago and don't know about some of the things Google can do for us. I know before class I did not know all of the things possible with Google, now I have more in my schema folder.

This information will benefit my future students because like you said in class with Google Docs you dont have to buy Microsoft Office everytime it changes, you can save your school and district money by using Gooogle Docs. It does most everything Microsoft does. I also think that the classroom website will benefit my students and keep their parents more informed on what is happening in class because techically I am spending more awake time with their children then they are. I also believe that the classroom site will help increase computer knowlegde of the students.Before I knew I could find things on Google, but now I see all the other possibilites. Thanks for teaching us these great and useful resources.
