Website Evaluation and Google Docs

We learned how to judge websites today to make sure that they are reliable. There are some websites out there that look very legitimate, but are a complete farce. It was nice to learn some techniques and questions to ask to verify if the information you are getting off the internet is reliable and accurate. We also learned about Google Docs today. This is a resource that Google provides that allows you to share documents you are working on with other co-workers or other students. It allows them to make changes and edit the work. This tool would be of great use for group projects. I think it would work well in a school setting. For instance, if you are working on a test that the whole grade will be using not just your class, you can come up with a basic outline, share it with the other teachers in the grade, they can edit and make comments and changes, send it back to you and you can fix it up so it will suit everyone's needs before you even print your first page. There are many other ways that this can be useful and it is something I am sure I will be using in my future classroom.
