I attempted to get to Google Doc's multiple ways, by clicking on the hyperlink, by typing in googledocs.com and by going to google and scrolling down the list to Documents, but I recevied an error message everytime. So, instead of editing the documents already there, I will tell you my opinion about this topic.
I can see the usefullness of this site for a variety of reasons, especially since I have a billion versions of my dissertation and would have really appreciated knowing about google docs when I was in the process of working towards my doctorate. After writing and reviewing that document sooooo many times, I couldn't see any mistakes evne if I left it alone for a day or two. Fortunately, I worked with a group of cohorts that had the same issue, so we worked together to edit each other's study. Since we had four of us working together, there were always four people editing and changing various aspects of the document. This created dissaray when it came time to combine all of the changes/ideas. Google would have alleviated that stress.
Within the world of teaching in Newington many of us have had to deal with the reaccreditation process and once again, there is a group of individuals assigned to review various areas of curriculum or parts of our educational arena. Yet again, Google docs would have been a signifant help to those working on the same topics.
You need to go to Google and log-in to your gmail account. (You sent me this info earlier in the course). From there, select documents (you may need to select MORE from the drop down menu to see the link to documents) You should see our spreadsheet under shared documents. Open the spreadsheet and fill-in your information. This is a very important tool for you to be able to understand and use, since we will be using these types of cloud computing tools with our students. If you have difficulty again, let me know and I will help you through it.
