Weekly Report & Reflection Post #7

Hello and welcome back to session 7 of ADED 1P32!

For the past few sessions we have been curating, locating, validating, collecting, sharing and evaluating resources we’ve found while researching and exploring! This week my classmates and I all had the opportunity to use Google Docs for our collaborative presentation. Google Docs is an online word processor that allows you to create and format text documents and also lets you collaborate with other people in real time.  With Google Docs you can use keyboard shortcuts, share documents with ease, and shortcut to launch Google Docs or launch a new document in Google Docs. This is such a great tool for us students because it is available at the amazing cost of zero dollars.


Since it is a free program and is available at your fingertips on your Internet browser or smartphone it is easily accessible and will cater to your word processing needs and is a very great choice. My favourite feature of Google Docs was being able to work on my Collaborative Google Docs Group Presentation PowerPoint and having it save automatically after each word and I also liked the fact that I can see which slide my partners were on and what they were writing as they were writing it. Google Docs being introduced to us ADED 1P32 students will help in this course and future because we can do anything from use the basic features of access from any computer to the 7 different file formats. 

As for my PLE in regards to Google Docs I will be adding Google Docs to my PLE because I feel in the years to come it will be more popular than Microsoft Office. Since Google Docs is online, free, and can be synchronized across all devices I feel it will be a better fit for students because we are becoming more technological when it comes to learning.
