Reflection and Response
I found this exercise on Google Docs to be very well organized and very helpful. As someone, that is not familiar with google docs, I found it to be a simple program, user friendly, with various tools and applications. The format is clean and easy to navigate. What I like most about the program is the ability to share with others and edit documents simultaneously with a partner, unlike the Wiki, where edits can only be made one at a time. The chat tool is excellent, giving the users the ability to talk through work they are doing without having different sources of media. I also like the way documents are listed in the “email inbox” style. The sorting capabilities are useful, as you can sort by groups you have shared with or document type, etc. I feel that this program can be beneficial from anything to lesson planning and presentations, to regular everyday activities from list making, to budget balancing.It is a good tool for students and teachers if grup work is a requirement. Writing group essays and making slide shows can be done efficiently amongst peers and classmates with the tools that Google Docs provide. I think this is a fine tool that I will be using a lot in the future.
Response from Josie:
Wow! I love your response and agree with it. I really like your comment on where you posted that people can share with others and edit simultaneously unlike a wiki. I agree! I also like how you mentioned all of the other functions and uses of Google Docs. I did not think about those. I truly think Google Docs is great to help others learn from each other as I have learned from you today. Thank you!
