Last week's Tech Day was an introduction to Google Docs. We had a great time creating and sharing documents, and many of you have already come up with terrific ideas for using these tools in and out of the classroom. If you missed the session or want to review, here is an online presentation which outlines the basics. Other sources for help are the Google Docs Help page and Atomic Learning.
Note that we are now recommending Google Docs as the word processor of choice for students and teachers. Using this online tool means no problems with forgetting where it's saved, not having the disk, or having different (incompatible) versions at home vs. school. The spreadsheet program is also recommended, but at this point we do not recommend use of the presentation tool; it does not handle animations nor import well from PowerPoint.
Look for ongoing updates and tips on Google Docs in this space. I welcome your questions!
