Thing #9 - Online Collaboration Tools

Original Post: Tuesday, March 25, 2008

I definitely thought that Google Docs was easier to manipulate than Zoho. The concept of working collaboratively on the same document at the same time was really interesting. For instance, if an ILA teacher were in a computer lab, he/she could have all students bring up a sample document and work on writing, spelling, organizational, grammar, vocabulary concepts as a group. Each student could then participate and watch the document take shape. I will e-mail the ILA department and make them aware of these tools.

P.S. It was fun working on the Declaration of Independence - taking such an important document and having input was empowering! Social Studies teachers could have students look at the Declaration of Independence and make their own changes - if they were writing this document now, what changes would they make and why?
