Tool #4

Google Docs is a very useful tool for teachers, especially when working within teams and with the students.  Google Docs can be accessed in many ways and from many locations so it is useful when working from home or when the students do work from locations other than school.  Teachers can access it not only from their school computers but from the provided iPads, netbooks or even from their phones when not at school.  Students can also access the documents in such ways.  Google Docs are also collaborative and can be manipulated and developed by many users which allows for communal and social learning.  It also allows me to track the work done by the students.
