Discovering new technology and web applications is quickly becoming more of a passion than just a hobby of mine. I believe in education it is important to include interactive and innovative technology whenever possible. This allows both students and teachers to grow in their learning. This blog serves as an idea spot and collaborative outlet for new and interesting Web 2.0 sites and applications that I come across.

The Amazing Google Docs
Google docs is a great collaborative tool to use in the classroom. Students can be working together on a variety of documents just like they would using Microsoft Office products. The difference is, they can each be on their own machine and they all can edit the same document at the same time. Gone are the days where there are four students gathered around one computer while only one types on the computer for the whole group. There is much more to say about this tool and its uses in the classroom so I will continue to post information on how to effectively use Google Docs in the classroom.
I found this video on YouTube.com and it shows how educators around the country are using Google Docs in the classroom. Enjoy.
