Microsoft Word and Googledocs

There are many ways that we can use word documents in the classroom. You could put assignments on googledocs so that if a student forgot their hard copy or lost it they could access it online. You could have a get-to-know-you page on googledocs where each student could write something about themselves and save it so that all the students could read about each other. I really liked the report idea that we did in class today. That is a great way for students to each do their part and also convenient that you don't have to email back and forth. I was interested to learn how to edit in Microsoft Word and highlight and leave notes. That's a cool way to grade students' essays or journal entries. Saves on paper. :) I also really enjoyed the adding a sentence to create a story in MS. You could do that with your students and type them up and put them on googledocs and let the kids read them online.
