Thing 16

Where was Google Docs during my college years?????  I can't tell you how easier this would have made my life!  I still have several students in my classes that do not have Internet access.  So, I can see that being an issue.  However, what a great tool for those students that do have access.  In our upper level Spanish classes, students (in groups) create a travel itinerary to a Hispanic location.  They come up with a description of the sites, write a report on places to visit, hotels to stay at, currency conversions, etc.  A good chunk of the project could be done at home - if students had access, as opposed to waiting until the next class to collaborate and compile the information onto the shared document.  The possibilities are truly endless with such a tool!
