Google Docs

Google Docs is a tool offered by Google which allows multiple people to work on a single project at online. This can be done in multiple ways, and follows much of the form of Microsoft Office. This means that students can work on spreadsheets, slide shows and word documents simultaneously while doing a project. Whenever I would create a group project for one of my classes I would do so with this tool in mind. I really like it because the students can divide up the work and be able to hand in one final product in a nice clean format. It also allows students to see what their partners are doing which will make the final product flow better and not have separate pieces copied and pasted in to one document. The students could also add me to their document which would allow me to look at what they're doing and leave feedback and suggestions. They could also leave questions on the document or project which creates a more open form of communication, enhancing the teacher/student relationship and making the learning experience better for both sides.
