Exploration 13 Google Docs

I enjoyed this exploration about Google Docs. I especially liked reading the testimonials of people that have found it an excellent way to solve many different problems they had been having on the computer with sharing information. I also found the ways they mentioned that teachers have used it with students to be exciting, but then I think I understood it to say that the students had to be 13 years old... so that may not work for me, after all. Anyhow, it would be good to use when collaborating with someone else when writing a document or spreadsheet.

For my assignment, I created a document that is meant to be review for me of the many tools I have been learning about during this Web 2.0 exercise. It is more or less a list of terms and definitions. I left it partially unfinished and 'shared' it with my friend Cathy. Hopefully I did this correctly and she will be able to view it, make changes to it, and finish it. I was a little confused as to where I go to view it again... we'll see, I guess!

I viewed your document and made some additions. I've invited you to look at my creation and edit.

Hi - to view your document as a Web page, look at the options on the "Publish" tab. Otherwise, you can click on it on the Docs Home page after you log in. Congratulations!
