Thing #20-Google Docs

Google documents are a great tool for the classroom just because of its simplicity. Since they are stored online and accessible online, you can get to them from any computer. It allows you to be able to create documents at home and still have access to them in the classroom. It is also easy to create a document for a project so that students could access it from home or at school. This just provides another aspect of learning that allows the students to use the internet for non traditional assignments. In addition to assignments, we could use it for our grade level newsletter. This would allow different teachers to provide information about their specific subject area, from home or school. Its also a great tool for teachers to use to share ideas for the classroom projects or lesson plans. Teachers of the same grade level or subject matter can contribute ideas and information while the students are allowed access to the material necessary to complete the assignment.
