I love computing in the clouds. Google docs is a "freeing" experience in that you can have multiple people (of your own choosing) contribute ideas to a project anywhere, anytime without tying up your mailbox. Multiple can offer changes without running into version issues. That is great.
I uploaded a document about Blooms Taxonomy which I received at a principals meeting. I like the way it summarizes the revisions- and want to share it with other staff members for their input. I will send the link to the leadership team.
I am excited to put Google Reader to work for me...I am reticent to chase sites, even of things I am interested in, and think that if I can add those journals, blogs, etc. in one place I will be more likely to keep up with the latest trends and ideas.
I think that as students enter into long-term research projects (such as the IB Extended Essay) the use of Google Reader can help them manage information by following a source over time. The use of Google Docs should support students ability to contribute equally to group projects despite geographic and financial disparities. Students don't need to have machines with large memory, and even if they can not travel to work with partners their contribution can be made without having to share versions, etc. of their work.
