Gooooooooooooooooogle
It seems that every time I turn around Google has added yet another tool to help educators. Ok – I know they aren’t JUST for educators, but dang! They sure are useful!
I have been taking an e-class through my education department and have learned about Google sites. Now – I’ve had a wiki for a few years that I’ve used with my classes and homebound students. I think the Google sites are much easier and more intuitive to use for beginners; but they also have enough ‘bling’ for a more advanced user’s wants.
Several uses that have been listed on my class’s discussion board for Google sites outside of student use with projects included professional collaboration. Administrative schedules could be posted. Announcements could quickly be uploaded and updated. Documents via google docs could be updated in real time thus saving multiple versions of a document floating around in email-world.
On-line, real-time collaboration between rooms, schools, and countries just keeps getting easier and easier. What are you waiting for?
