Screen cast (How to use Google Docs)

Google Docs vs. Windows Live

 I like using both Google Docs and Windows Live. They both work very well and have great advantages. However, they both have their downsides. I like Google Docs because everything is organized, and the way that is set-up makes it very easy to use; the documents also automatically save themselves so you don't have too. The down side is that the set up of the actual documents themselves is kind of a turn off. You can only see part of the document at a time. What I liked about Windows Live was that you could see the whole document screen and it was also very easy to use. The only thing that I didn't like was that the set-up of the website was different from what I'm used to, and it's not on a site that I use everyday and would remember to look at.

Project Wrap-Up Assignment

I liked the fact that in Google Docs I can share my work with other people and that all of my work isn't just left on one computer. The thing that I didn't like about Google Docs however, was that the screen didn't let me see most of what I was working on; I felt like I had to focus on the line I was working on and nothing else. Even though I did not have a partner I feel that being able to work on the same document at the same time as someone else would be very helpful and cut down the work time. I'm not really sure what Google could do to improve Google Docs because it is so helpful already, but if they could find something to tweak it would be even better. Overall, the research that I did was good. However, I did not do the entire project since I was gone but I think that, if we use Google Docs for another project, it would turn out great.

Review So Far

Google Docs is a program in which documents can be shared on the internet. This program also makes it possible to use/edit documents on any computer because it is over the internet so the documents aren't tied down to just one computer.

Wikis, or avitars, are used on social networks and are a reflection of who you are. They have many purposses for example: teaching, learning, communication, etc.

Assistive technology is used by people who have dissabilities and use computers to communicate or to do other functions.

Electronic portfolios are used as a way for people to see all of your information. For example: a company could look at it to see if you are qualified for a job.
