PE1_Google Docs

For my practical experience project I chose to delve deeper into Google Docs. I was first introduced to Google Docs a few months ago when I began the EMDT program at Full Sail Online. Since then I have used it to collaborate with group members, but mostly only using the docs and spreadsheets feature. I decided to take a closer look through the templates to see what else this powerful tool offered that would help me meet my collaboration needs.

I found a great template under the albums and flipbooks section for a scrapbook presentation. I love to scrapbook, so this really caught my attention. I downloaded the template and decided to try it out. 





I could see using this as a great tool to use at the beginning of the school year, during the first day or week of class. It would make a great icebreaker to have the students introduce themselves using it. It sounds like a lot more fun than stand up in front of the class and tell us about yourself or what did you do over the summer.

Stay tuned as I explore other ways to use Google Docs and as I find helpful tutorials to better familiarize myself with the applications.
