Google 1 /Digital Story

What? This week we learned about digital story books, and used Google 1 to to create a document in google which allows students to collaborate on a project. The great idea behind using google document is at it allows a group of people the work on the same document, and edit and create it together, but at separate times and on different computers. I have used google documents already this semester and feel it is an invaluable resource for us as students and also as we become educators we will be able to work together more efficiently.

So What? Now that we have experience in working with google documents I feel it will really help us be able to work more efficiently on group projects. We were able to research items for our "digital story" topic, then place it in our google document so my fellow group members could see what I added and continue to add additional information. I find it very useful because I live up in Salt Lake and most of my group members live in Orem, therefore it is difficult to get together to work on school assignments in person.

Then What?Google Documents is an amazing tool that will help any student or educator who needs to work in groups or just to create their own documents. It gives you the opportunity to write, collaborate and save your document and information in a safe place. It is also free of charge to use so that is a great plus to using Google. Google is universal, a person can work with anyone around the world and have the common link to communicate and work together. By using google document we are able to efficiently work on projects and collaborate our ideas without wasting time and energy to meet together in person. Google helps connect people and information it's awesome!
