Google docs

-Google docs is basically online method of storing documents. It's basically like microsoft office except you can open the documents from anywhere without sending it to yourself or saving it on your USB. It's useful for group projects, peer editing and sharing files. You don't have to worry about sending files to people to see or saving files to your USB. The link to google docs > https://docs.google.com/
-Pros- As I said before, it's an effective way to do group work since you can all edit at the same time. Peer editing will be very useful because you can see what your peer is changing and you can also chat together to ask questions and such.
Cons- You need a google account to use google docs and also you need interent to access to your files.
-Teachers can use google docs by asking students to do their work on google docs and share it with them. Teachers can also do quizzes online, this will interest students and no paper is wasted. Learning how to use google docs will allow students to work in new ways, no more worring about documents not saving and no more "I forgot my work". This will allow more uses of technology in classrooms.
