Mendy’s Thoughts: Web 2.0

Google documents seems like a very useful resource.  I assign a group project every year in my World Cultures and American History classes.  It is always a challenge for the students to get together to complete their paper and presentation.  It seems that Google Docs is a great alternative.  They can work on their paper and presentation at home, and see the revisions that have been made without having to do a lot of emailing.  Plus, it’s something they can work on anytime anywhere, and they don’t need to save it to something.  I would like to use it for my projects and papers this year.  I can also share Google docs with them for project directions or other documents relating to it.  I think I like it the most because of the convenience factor.  I can be at my home computer or at an internet cafe in London to pull up my document without having to carry a thumb drive or other device.
