I really like this blog post, “Using Google Docs to record, improve, and increase feedback.”

Feedback throughout the writing process is so important for our students. Google docs allows us to “chime” in at any time and keep up with student work. I love that we can follow a student from start to finish online, without having to print each draft.

It’s been almost a month since our first WC! meeting of the 2008-2009 school year.  I’m excited, energized, and ready to learn with all of the new participants.  At our first meeting, we discussed the article, “What a Difference a Century Makes!”, WC! expectations, staff guidelines for district-owned laptops, and Google Docs.  We learned how to use Google Docs and how easily it can be used with students.  It was interesting to note how many student excuses (regarding homework) we can extinguish with the use of Google Docs; no more lost disks, broken printers, stolen papers, etc.
