Google Docs, the word processor on the Cloud? This is a great tool and one which I have seen our students making great use of. Think back through our recent history of file sharing and mobility - 5.25" floppies, 3.5" floppies, portable hard disks, flash drives, quite a list and not all are very reliable. Remember those 5.25" floppies?
Go on, be brave - date yourselves!! They all could fail, they all had to be carried around, they all got lost, and they mostly only worked on the platform they were created for. Flash drives are the best we have had for carrying files around with us, but I really like this Google Docs solution.
Students working on projects should take advantage of this system and I can certainly use it when putting together a VANTAGE.
So let's hang around awhile longer and see what comes next. Isn't that the exciting part of technology - it just keeps on changing!
