Google Docs

I really enjoyed using and learning about google docs and tools. I feel that this would be especially helpful for an English class when students are writing, editing, outlining, and getting feedback for their papers. I especially like that you can share the documents with everyone or a certain number of people. This could be helpful for peer editing or if there is a personal essay that the student only wants the teacher to read. I also like that the grade book is interactive and students could access their grades at anytime if the students were identified by something other than their name. I also explored the google site a little more and saw the interactive calender, which could be useful in the classroom as well so students know what is coming up. Students could also take advantage of the reader to monitor which articles they read or if there is a reading that they should do it could be put up there. I feel that there are many different aspects to google that could be helpful within the classroom of simply to keep teachers more organized.
