Google Docs - Module 3

Scrambled eggs, with basil from our garden, olive oil from George Kolumbaris's restaurant and soy and linseed sourdough from Burke St Bakery - oh and marinated Greek Fetta - what a great way to start the day!

So this is related to Google Dos in that it is the same breakfast that I will have on Saturday when I assist the CEO organised Biology day for top year 12 students. The people involved in organising this event were all time poor, so the presentation was made using Google Docs. We all had access to the documents, therefore we could collaborate and each contribute to the document.
Additionally, I have used this in class. Students were able to type into one document and we created a comprehensive piece of work collaboratively. Students were using several skills simultaneously without even realising it, including research, critically analysing the contributions and working as a team.
Google Docs is a great way to save documents online, though it doesn't completely negate the need for hard drives/ USB drives, it does allow information to be shared more easily and quickly and on the go.
