This blog is no longer utilized - however I keep it up so that I can share with others what I have done within this social media course.

This was my first time teaching this course.

Google Docs

What is Google Docs? (information obtained from Google Docs - on Google - Using Google Docs in the Classroom)

Google Docs is a free, Web-based word processing, presentations and spreadsheets program.
Unlike desktop software, Google Docs lets people create web-based documents, presentations and spreadsheets that anyone in the group can update from his/her own computer, even at the same time.
Instead of emailing around files and having to deal with the confusion and extra work involved in managing different file versions and manually aggregating input from others, anyone in the group can edit the document online from anywhere -- all you need is a Web browser.
And, since your docs are all stored safely in Google's servers, you don't have to worry about losing data from a hard drive crash or nasty virus.



Extra Information:
Google Docs allows anyone to view/edit a document without a gmail account!
Google Forms feed directly into a Google Spreadsheet.
Collaborate on a document in "real time" in Google Docs Wordprocessor.  Up to 100 people can share the same document.

Today we will all collaborate on the same document!
