Google Part One

What?
This week we looked at Google docs and calendar.  We are to collaborate with our partner to find information about a subject for our Digital Story using Google docs.

So What?
As a current student and future teacher, these are great tools for me to use to communicate and collaborate with others without actually having to be in the same room or talk to them on the phone.  I am able to save my documents in a place where they can be accessed from any computer with access to the internet.  I am also able to see my schedule for different events and activities all in the same place.

This not only makes my life easier but the lives of people that I will have to work and collaborate with in the future.  It will give all of us the time to do what we need to do and have time with our family and friends.  Time today is everything.

Now What?
I believe that knowing how to use these programs that are available for me online and being able to teach them to my students will help broaden their knowledge of the internet.  I am confident that my students will be able to safely use these resources without the fear of finding something they should not. 

I can also use it with my colleaques.  We can share ideas about lesson plans, classroom management, and anything that may be going on in the school without leaving the comforts of home.  They will always be available on the internet to access and update without rewriting.
