In class on the 5 th of March, class was composed of a small group of individuals who explored tools to assist us in teaching. I enjoyed the small group atmosphere as for some reason the internet, computer and I didn't make "good bed fellows". I sure did have to call for help a lot. We covered three major items, Social Bookmarking where we created our delicious bookmarks, igoogle where we had the opportunity to customize a home page, see earlier blog, and just briefly touched on online documents. This is where I seemed to have a lot of difficulty setting up the account and getting it to work. Whoa.. They just called a pep fest. Will log on and edit this entry later.
4/7 As you can see I didn't get a chance to log on and finish this blog before spring break. Which was very relaxing I might say. Boy to think back to what I wanted to say. Hum..... I could see how this google productivity tool would be helpful for students who do not own a copy of Microsoft Office or Appleworks. As long as they have access to the internet there are several tools available. The only problem is when students use a program that is not compatible with our programs and they come in a rush to print work from home and it can not print. I doubt that I personally would use google documents as I find office and appleworks easier to use. Plus I do not need to rely on a network connection.
