What did I learn in our Google Part 1 class? Well I learned that there is a whole lot more that you can do with Gmail. You can make spread sheets, you can make documents that others can edit or add on to. You can add pictures onto documents by searching Google.
So what does this mean to me? Well as a teacher it gives me the ability to have access to all sorts of office tools without actually having Microsoft. As a student it gives me the ability to share projects online with my team members who may not be able to work on a project at the same time as me, it also gives me the ability to be able to work on a project with a team member on my own time and not have to worry about getting together with them. It also keeps all of my documents in a file so I can access it anywhere.
I think now that I know all about the cool things that I can do on Gmail, besides just emailing I gives me the opportunity to expand my ability to do assignments and projects anywhere I am. I think it is such an awesome tool to be able to use because sometimes I don't have my computer with me or my thumb drive, so usually I will email the document to myself and then finish it on a different computer, but that doesn't always work when my laptop has Word2007 and my computer at my house is Word2000. So it poses a problem when my original document doesn't pull up exactly how I had it before. So with Googledocs I will be able to access my project from anywhere and not have to worry about the programs that specific computer has and everything will still be the same and exactly how I had it in the first place.
