Thing 10

I could use google docs for a variety of things. I could use it to collaborate with different teachers around the county. I could collaborate on a 1st grade presentation on Space with other first grade teachers. Each adding their own ideas or thoughts to the presentations. It would allow for different points of view. Maybe a teacher at another school has a great idea that I had not thought of. Personally I could use the spreadsheet to hammer out practice schedules for baseball teams. Instead of calling & emailing the list around, I could use a spreadsheet and have people fill it in. It would save a lot of hassle & time. Some problems may be that people could delete or edit other peoples work completely. As for the practice time spreadsheet someone could possibly delete someone from a time slot and use it as their own.

Some advantages of working in the cloud include the ability the have constant interaction & feed back on things. Your ideas are opened to the world and sometimes thats a good thing and sometimes its not. Also things in the cloud could get jumbled, things are always changing (here today gone tomorrow), and it can be very fast paced and overwelhming. I am still trying to remember and roll around in my mind all things I've learned so far and I am only on Thing 10.
