Thing 20

Google docs is a great tool for sharing information and for collaborative work. I have been using it for a while, beginning with a collaborative project with the 4th grade classes. I created a spreadsheet for the students to share between the classes so that they could collect data in their classrooms about spring break destinations. Then, as each class came to the technology lab, I simple pulled up their spreadsheet and the students where able to use the data to create graphs representing the results. I have also use google docs to share information and collaborate on a project with other staff members. Google docs will be very useful for any project involving sharing, from writing stories and poems, to sharing notes and data.
