Google Docs

Today, we took a look at the concept of cloud computing and used Google Docs - a Web-based service that allows us to create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms. With Google Docs we can share our documents with others for peer-editing and collaborate on the same document in "real-time." During class a roster was created in Google Docs that contains each student's name, email address, and personal blog URL: Class Roster H4.  The best thing about Google Docs? We can access it from any computer that has an Internet connection!

Have you ever worked with Google Docs before? If so, how? Did you learn anything new today that you can see yourself using in your other classes? Please explain.

  3. I have worked with Google Docs before one time. It was in Online Experience A with Mrs. Fowler. We used it while she was absent towards the end of the trimester to fill out questions that should be on the exam. Today, I learned that you can share the document with other users. You can both be able to edit it in "real time" and work on it together.

  4. I have never worked with Google Docs before. I learned that you can share a document with other people (which is great if you're working on a collborative project) and that you can access it from different computers

  5. Yes, I have worked with Google Docs before. Last year, I did many group and partner projects with people who did not live in the Bedford area. Because they lived so far away, Google Docs helped so much!

    In class, I learned much more about Google docs. I knew how to share, recieve, and work Google Docs for the most part. I learned how to create a form and turn it into an excel document. This will help me in the future!

  6. I used Google Docs in Online Expirence A. I had Mrs. Lang and we used Google Docs for all of our notes.

    I didn't know there were different types resources we could use such as regular documents, presentation, form, and spreadsheet. I thought there was only a regular document
