Thing #18

I had heard of Google Docs as a possible alternative to Microsoft Office for the new laptops we are getting in the fall. I didn't know anything about it prior to this lesson. I found it easy to work with and I liked the template feature. (Perhaps Microsoft Office has this feature as well and I don't know about it.) I also like the idea that you can share documents and/or work on them at the same time from any location. I can see this as an advantage for my teammates, but I'm not really sure how the second graders will be able to benefit from this feature.
