Water Cycle Google Docs

Reflection: I think google docs is a tool that can be used for just about anything. It can be used for collaborative writing and group projects. It offers the chance to have multiple people working on the same document at the same time. It can be great for collaborative work as well as individual writing, tests, or quizzes. I found it rather easy to use and easy to share with others. I love the fact that you can share it with who you choose and they can access and change the document when needed. Google docs is a great way for students to demonstrate what they know and what they have been learning. While exploring the tool I found it nearly impossible to find something negative about google docs. The way I would used this tool in my own classroom would be to have students use them for group collaborative projects and occasionally use it for tests or quizzes. Overall I enjoyed learning a little bit more about google docs and the different ways I could use it in my future classroom.
