MS WORD and GOOGLE DOC

Who knew! Google is amazing. I am finding out so many incredible aspects of google that I just want to highlight a few.
-E-mail
-Blogging
-Google Docs
-and many other things I need not mention right now.
Today we talked about google docs. This is a program created by google that is opposite from emailing documents. When you e-mail documents there are several copies made and often these copies are confused! Google docs is where you have a document and you can allow others to edit the document or simply view the document. This can be helpful in a classroom! Teachers can create grade charts and share them over google docs. They can also send out newsletters and have someone edit them.
Microsoft Word is an amazing tool that needs to be used in the classroom. Children are now learning how to type years before our generation did. They can learn how to express language and write their thoughts down. This can be helpful for correcting grammar and spelling. We used it to write a progressive story where each child puts one sentence on each computer and forms a unique story. This can be a fun way for the children to express themselves through writing in a fun way.
