Hey everyone, I came across this video that really helps to illustrate why Google Docs is a superior alternative to e-mail for collaboration purposes. Might be useful for those of you who are trying to get your teachers to embrace some of these new technologies in their own practice.
As I said in class, if you want to gently introduce your staff to Web 2.0 technologies, you get the most “bang for your buck” by starting them off with a Google account!
Oh, and if you’re interested, here’s a link to my new blog that I’ll be maintaining at NYU:
Hope all is well in your corner of the world!

Hi, Honey! I’ll be giving a workshop on google docs and edublogs to the secondary teachers soon. This little video, I’m sure, will help put them, and me, at ease. Thanks so much for posting it!!!
Hope all is well. I’m sure you’re knockin’ ‘em dead!
Love,
Jamie

Wow! Certainly eye opening to for me. This makes so much sense for students to use when working on a projects together at home. They can easily collaborate from home and everyone can contribute. Often they will assign jobs and each come with their parts completed and miss out on the chance to contribute to the whole project. This will be very useful for teachers and may actually bring them on board to use more technology in class.
I have learned two things tonight while going through your blog. One, a new way to do a presentations ( AR ) and two, a new tool to collaborate.
Thanks!
