Google Docs - An Essential Student/Teacher Resource

What can I say, Google Docs is AMAZING! Not only does it make sure that students to never lose their work (and therefore no more complaints about printers or software errors) but it also allows for more efficient collaboration between the student and their teacher. Teachers can view the progress of a student through the 'Revision History' on the document, and is able to view the document live as the student works on it. Also, teachers can add comments on the side of the document to give feedback on the student's work (by pinpointing exact parts of the document) and in return the student is able to ask questions to clarify certain comments made by the teacher.  

Not only can the student easily collaborate with their teacher, but they can also collaborate with other students during group assignments.  Through Google Docs students and teachers can creates word processing documents, presentations, spreadsheets and forms. You are also able to share PDFs and convert Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents. It is a great place to store files. 

Through using the Form creator, teachers can easily make online quizzes and tests for students to fill out. 

There are also a vast range of things that teachers and students can use Google Docs for - it just takes a bit of imagination and creativity :)
