I would like to explore the capabilities in entire suite of Google Docs to implement in my learning, professional development, and work environments. I am knowledgeable that it is a free online word processing suite that is powerful for collaboration, but I want to see how I can effectively use its capabilities as I work on projects for my personal studies, guiding students, and communicating with my peers.
Through my initial research of the tool via several Internet search engines, I learned that
Google Docs is a free word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and form application tool. These tools allow teachers and students to erase compatibility barriers and work collaboratively on documents. Documents can be created or edited online by multiple users and it offers instant feedback during collaboration.
I have used the word processing feature as a student at Full Sail University as our group worked on several collaborative projects, and gained first hand experience on how the tool is valuable for working in groups. I also viewed the forms capability to make surveys during a presentation our instructor made during a Wimba session. However, I would like to delve into the other features such as presentations and drawing. If I learn how to incorporate these features, I can save time and paper when I assign work and my students will be able to instantly critique each other. I will take some time to view tutorials on Lynda.com so I can sharpen my skills on the use of Google Docs.
