Working with Google Docs has been eye opening. I didn't realize all of the things that were available on the site. I had heard of it before class but never really looked into it, assuming it was just a site where students could post a word document and discuss it. Without realizing its full potential, I now regret not using it for many of the assignments that I've had at MSU. Its perfect for group work where most of us have other priorities than just school. Since last week I have used it two times, one for personal reasons (sent a survey to family for graduation) and another for a TE class. Why didn't I know about this before? Well, it was never covered in any of my other courses. I realize its a technology based resource but honestly this could be used in all courses in college. Professors could easily get students working with it by having their syllabi on google docs. In a society where things grab on quick, this resource could explode like facebook has. It will now be on my favorites list and it becomes another tool I will use as a teacher.
