Google Docs

Google Docs is a form cloud computing where a user can use applications as a service instead of being limited to s certain platform. This application allows people to share information with numerous people without having to send a tremendous amount of emails. People are able to either view, edit, or provide comments to Google documents which helps during the revision process.

I believe that shared documents and presentations provide a manner for teachers to inter-exchange ideas on documents from a central location. Hence, I would use it to gain insight from other teachers on projected lesson plans and projects. In addition, I would use shared documents to plan class field trips that would involve multiple classes or grade levels. This gives teachers, including myself, an opportunity to make corrections or add points that everyone would be able to see and revise.

The youtube video provided me more insight on how to navigate through Google Docs. There are numerous tools that GoogleDocs provides and from the video I was able to visualize how to effectively use those tools.
