Module 1 Assignment 4 "Google Docs"

Google Docs, in my opinion, is a great way to share files with others.  It seems easier to use than Dropbox, and I like that changes are saved automatically.  After watching the video on Youtube, I learned how simple it is to download a Google document to Word and to download a Word document to Google Docs.  In our division, administrators often use Google Docs to share documents such as benchmark tests, school improvement plans, and even an iPad checkout form.  

I was not able to open the video about how teachers and students can use Google Docs. (The link did not work.)  However, I feel it would be a good way to for teachers to help upper grade students revise and edit writing assignments.  Google Docs could also be used to share information with parents, and I like the idea of creating a "form," which is like a survey.  The only caveat would be that some parents do not have a Gmail account.  

I do think that the home (Drive) page is a little confusing, and I sometimes have trouble finding my documents.  I think I just need to spend some time organizing and creating folders.  Overall, using Google Docs is easy and practical.  It just makes sense to use it to share documents.
