Activity 7: Cloud Computing
I have been using google docs that other people have created for quite some time. It never really dawned on me the full scope of how this can be used for personal files.It has been a big pain to be at home and try to get documents off my district file. It takes forever! Using this will be much more convenient to work at home (which is where I do all of my lesson planning).
I uploaded a form we use for the first week of school to introduce other staff members in the building. It goes along with the book Hooray for Diffendoofer Day.
Hooray for Diffendoofer Day
Currently my team uses google doc for keeping track of our team meeting notes and agendas. We all can access the information and keep track of everyone's tasks. We also use it to coordinate times. I just got one seeing when everyone could get together for our summer "I" day. I think there are many pros!
A con for me is that I can be indecisive and wouldn't want the changes to save as I was creating.
One of the biggest advantages to using this is the easy accessibility from any computer. I think you will really enjoy that piece during the school year!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't view it either, and I'm really curious to see what the activity is! This will be a great way for us to share resources for reading/language arts.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Notebook file. I wonder if that is why some of you can't see it??? When you get to the initial page you can't see it immediately, but there is a download button. When I push that it does download.
ReplyDeleteI saw it when I hit download. There are a lot of good reasons to share documents- but if it is something important (or a version that you love) that you need, you should save an original copy that cannot be edited or deleted by others.
ReplyDeleteI could see it b/c I had notebook. I LOVE it, esp as a teammate who doesn't have a clue what we're doing the first week! (I will figure it out! Don't worry!)
