PLN: Google Docs
Unlike my post on Google in general, my Google Docs (Google Drive) post comes with a warning. This is amazingly useful for creating all types of useful forms. From online assessments to printable quizzes, this is a great tool for all types of educators. Starting to make the document is as easy as pushing a giant red button, literally. From there, it is easy to configure and finish the document. In my opinion, it is hard to sure and edit the document, but I am still inexperienced at it. Hopefully in time I will become an expert at it.
I couldn't agree with you more about Google Drive. I think it is so incredibly resourceful. From the reassurance of having all my lesson plans and other resources organized in a place that I know won't get erased, unlike my hard drive if it crashes, to the quizzes and tests you can create; this resource is without a doubt a must-use.
ReplyDeleteits really incredible how few people know about this resource. You can do so much with it that professional programs like word and pages is obsolete. Its also accessible from anywhere in the world which is great. However not a lot of teachers know about it. In my school I had to explain to the entire class how great it was. I also had to convince the IT people to unblock access to it from the school computers -__-
ReplyDeleteIt may be especially useful to you in the future when you have a work computer that is separate from your personal computer - your files can be accessed from both.
