All about Google Docs and Word Processing

Learning about Google Docs was really good because now I don't feel as intimidated by them! I think that they could be very beneficial in the classroom and personally I think it would be a great way to connect with the parents and let them check what is going on with our class in case their students aren't the best at getting papers home. All you need is there email addresses and you can keep them updated and also they can post any comments or concerns. I also like the idea of never having to carry around a flash drive because I lose things all the time. It is so nice that you can save it to an account and be able to access it anywhere that has the Internet!

We also discussed word processing and it is great for collaborative writing and I think the students would really enjoy being able to work with one another and share their ideas and to see each others creativity! I know that I like working in groups and with this kind of activity I think that the students would really enjoy creating a story together. I want to teach at the younger grades so I'm not sure how well this will work with them but if later I switch to teaching at the upper grades this is something that I would highly consider doing with my students.

I think that both of these will be great resources and will benefit me in the future with my classroom and also with my teaching!
