I have been considering using Google Docs for classroom use – in place of the interactive science notebook my students currently use, and this article helps provide a great overview of the features and functions of Google Docs programs. If you are looking for more detail on how to use Google Doc programs, there are links included in the article that take you to two websites for additional help and tutorials on Google products. I especially liked how the authors provided examples on how each tool or program might be used in the classroom. I highly recommend this article for anyone seeking to integrate technology into their teaching. Web 2.0 and Google products are a great place to start.
