Google Groups

To make my power point and my groups story we used Google Docs. I really enjoyed using Google Docs. It provided a way for me to create documents like you would in Microsoft Word without having the worry of  paying a big price to get Microsoft Word. Google Docs is completely free. It also lets people work together in a group on one document. By working together I believe this project connects to 3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning b. Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools

and resources to support student success and innovation under the NETs-T standards. Also with Google Docs, you can actually watch another person in your group make the changes right in front of your eyes.

This software would be very useful in the classroom. Not all schools can afford Microsoft Word or other commercial product for their computers. Schools' document products may not always be up to date. Google Docs can solve that problem. All that is needed is the internet. This also helps solve the problem for families of the students that are income restricted. Even if the family does not have a computer, if the student can get access to any computer, they log on to Google Docs and their work will be there.
