[Yr7-10it] google docs / google sites [Scanned] [Spam score:10%]

Google Docs is great but if you can get the school It administrators to set up a Google Apps account then you have more control over the data and who can access what.

I use the Documents more than anything else with my Multimedia classes. They are great for collaboratively working on a script in real time. The spreadsheet works well to keep a record of marking that can then be accessed anywhere, anytime.

We are looking at changing over to Google Mail for the students.

This will have up to date information regarding the subject, links to documents, word of the week, student of the week, web resources etc. This will require my students to set up a Gmail account and I will 'invite' them to view my site. I have also set up a class discussion group that we will use as a forum.
