Online Productivity!
This was really fun. Jodi, Bonni and I shared a document and LOVED that we were able to watch as the other people typed or edited our work. You can even see every cursor click on the document!
This was a great surprise. I had no idea that a Google Document could be edited in real time with other people.
The uses this could lend itself to are exciting!
BRAIN WAVE!
You could use this to monitor student work in the computer lab. Having each student signed in or a group signed in you could watch as they did any of their work! Everything from watching students type their names or find letters to editing each others work at a higher level. This is a great resource for a teacher trying to keep an eye on, or understand how, their students are working on a document.
This technology is also a great resource for professional development or collaboration among your peers. Any document that a group or group member is working on can now be access or viewed by other members. For instance, the PTA could have access to view what each committee member is allowed to edit. This frees up so many issues that always come up when working on the same task with a group.
I'm really more excited about this one Thing, than any before. I had always been told the splendid wonders of Google Documents and my actually using it, was long overdue.
This is great!
