This is a very good tool

this isn't for teaching exactly, but we use google docs in our lab to edit shared spreadsheets; this is helpful because a) there is only one version of the document, and b) it is accessible via the web.

My students shared a doc via google docs. BAB
We have already used in our office to share and edit documents in process, such as a strategic plan or a curriculum map.

- keep track of events taking place ~SM
- What limitations might it have or what logistical problems do you see?
- if several people are editing the same document at the same time, what is the "final" document suppose to look like?
the first hurdle is making sure everyone knows how to use it...
another is that both a strength a weakness is that there is no 'master plan' for a document - things can get messy/inconsistent with multiple editors if duties are not managed (e.g.creation, editing, proofreading). the document really needs an 'owner/editor-in-chief' who organizes the group, and makes sure there is discussion.~EB
one more key is that this system is set up to create *documents*, and is still based around printable text docs (and spreadsheets and presentations); it might not be appropriate for all collaborations/content. ~EB
Yes, I use podcasts for all my online courses-but my lecture class also uses them to back up my lectures
I don't teach online courses, but I might consider recording lectures for student reference, and it might be nice to have an 'archive' not just of the text/lecture slides, but the verbal part, student questions, etc. ~EB
I am interested in using podcasts for online courses - Drick Boyd
- In general do you think these tools would help?
- YES!!!! I use them all the time. ~JB
- Other thoughts or suggestions for the group?
A Quick Guide to Creating Accounts in G.D. for Your Class
How to create accounts for your classroom
If your students have email addresses provided by the school
- If your students are given email addresses by the school, all ending in the same domain, you may consider signing up for Google Apps Team Edition. This is a quick and easy solution, which will allow you to sign up, then add your students' addresses to one account quickly and easily.
For an introduction to Google Apps Team Edition, and to see if it's right for you, watch the video.
If your students already have email addresses
- If needed, have your students create a Google Account (http://www.google.com/accounts) using the email address they intend to use. Creating a Google Account is easy, and simply involves registering any email address and choosing a password specific to your Google Account.
While you'll need to compile a list of email addresses from your students, we recommend that you don't ask for their passwords, since these will now be connected with their personal Google Accounts.
If you need to create email addresses for your students
- There are a number of free email clients (Gmail at http://mail.google.com being one) that will allow you to create accounts for each of your students, or allow your students to create an account for themselves.
Please note: Students must be 13 or over to use Google Docs, in compliance with Google's Terms of Service
