Documents for Teachers
I think that teachers may use Zoho Suite for calendars, grade books and any other important information for their classroom. I think that it would be beneficial for them to know how to use this type of software. Google Docs are an easy way to share documents between emails, but I don't really see the importance for teachers to learn about this. Open Office is a great way for teachers to create teaching materials and this would be something that the kids would be able to have access to as well. I think that teachers would benefit from learning about Open Office. I have had problems with Word Processors, but I usually google it and find out how to do it. Google is a great way to figure out how something works or what steps you would need to follow to get the results that you are looking for.

Dana,
ReplyDeleteI love Google, I Google everything. My husband makes fun of me because I always Google things. I got my mother in law hooked on Google.
Dana: You might check out the ideas posted by Google on how to integrate Google docs in the classroom: http://www.google.com/educators/p_docs.html
ReplyDeleteRemember, Google Docs are free--as opposed to Microsoft Office. Also, they are available via the Web, which means anyone can access them from any computer.
@Amy I also Google everything. If I have a question on how to do something, the first thing I do is Google it. That's a typical Digital Native habit. It's also a great problem-solving technique.
