Hello Bloggers!
Everyone do not worry I am back from reading week and ready to share my experience with you this week. First, I hope that every experienced a nice relaxing week off, and not too much stress. If you are feeling stressed I hope this link I am going to share will help. This week I would like to share something a little bit different from my Feedly account. I will be sharing one of my favorite recipes from Emily Skye’s Blog. The recipe is for flourless banana pancakes, which are so tasty. These are a very yummy treat for yourself, but still healthy and we all know that can be hard to find. I bet we all can treat ourselves after the stress of midterms and papers being due this week.
This week I will be discussing my journey of using the online tool of Google Docs through Google. I am using this tool to work on my collaborative project with my fellow classmates on digital communication. I have to mention that collaborative work is a very helpful tool, as it aids many students with writing publicly (Institute for Writing& Rhetoric, 2013). Also, gives the students the chance to work with each other and learn off of one another, since two minds are better than one! Collaborative work is also beneficial for students as it allows the work to be peer reviewed by others to ensure the writing is readable to the general public (Institute for Writing & Rhetoric, 2013). So, if you are thinking about doing collaborative working Google Docs is the best tool to use.
Google Docs is a tool that aids in collaboration with other people through creating and synthesizing documents. The features of Google Docs is the ability to create documents, PowerPoint, or spreadsheet, thus it has multiple functions. The analogy I will compare Google Docs to is the idea of having Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all on website. I will be using Google Docs for many of different tasks throughout my education career and professional career of being a teacher. Here is a few example of what I will be using Google Docs for:
