MODULE 3

I found google docs very interesting. Google docs enables you to share documents, presentations, spreadsheets and so on with other members efficiently. It makes doc attachments in e-mails unnecessary. By using google docs, documents can be more easily shared without the "clutter." It makes managing articles more time saving and efficient. When creating documents they can be shared with other teachers. This could be beneficial when programming whereby teachers wouldn't have to be in the same room. Documents can be accessed and worked on from anywhere, anytime of the day or night. Google docs definitely makes sharing documents simple.

Children would be able to benefit from using google docs whether they are at school or home.Children can access their documents at home and at school anytime and can work together with their peers on particular assignments. The writing process continues to be developed. Children can brainstorm, draft,revise, edit and publish their documents.

By sharing their ideas and opinions the workload is spread and children develop their learning through interactive and collaborative sharing. What a student can produce individually greatly differs and improves  from what can be produced by  sharing as a group. Learning is opened up and children gain different perspectives on their work. By publishing their work students gain greater satisfaction from the idea of a whole audience who is reading and appreciating their efforts as compared to just having the class teacher privy to their work. The wider audience raises expectations and motivates the students to do better, to be creative,unique and to achieve the best possible outcome. Google docs has many educational benefits once the students grasp the basic skills needed to create and develop  their documents.
