Google Docs continued...

1. The Google spreadsheets and documents that we worked on were great. I loved the one where you could have more than one person working on the same document at the same time, very helpful for group projects in school. And the spread sheet was easy enough to figure out, although I have never found a use for spreadsheets in my own life, or have any ideas for use in the classroom for the students..any ideas?

2. the Google homepage is the other thing I tried out. i think this is really fun. It s like having your own little window to the world. you can supply whether jokes games dates etc. I think this is really useful for the classroom aspect to check everyday to be well rounded in worldly events, not only in the schools own culture.

Wiki in the classroom

I love wiki. It is a great way to search a huge amount of information via web. I think kids these days are so advantaged today with technology, and it is helpful to have programs like wiki available at the click of a fingertip to find just what they are looking for. I use Wikipedia for every single presentation I have in school for a reliable source.
