Argument for Google Docs

If you read blogs as a teacher, the most important educational blog is "Free Technology for Teachers." As Mr. Byrne describes being in a workshop,"Birds of a Feather" and dicussing how to use Google in the classroom. Here is what I borrowed.


Last week at ISTE 2010 I participated in a "Birds of a Feather" session for Google Certified Teachers and other interested in sharing ways that we use Google in our classrooms. During the session Google Certified Teacher Chris Atkinson shared a fun video that he uses to illustrate the benefits of cloud computing, particularly the use of Google Docs. Chris shared this clip from the CBS sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, and explained that he tells people that they can avoid the problem of forgetting a flash drive by using Google Docs. Enjoy the video.
