Why Google Docs is a must for a Teacher's

  Google Docs should be a required word processing tool for every teacher in the 21st century .  With Google Docs students or anyone who chooses to use the source can create, share, and edit documents from anywhere via technology.  Google Docs offers many templates, making it fast and easier to create documents the way you want. Docs allows you to  collaborate with others in the form of writing or collaborative brainstorming. Google Docs just keeps evolving, evolving with the generations of students. Teachers can edit a student’s work as long as the student shares that document with them, they can revise and give their feedback of that student’s work as well.  Google Docs allows more of a teacher student bond, or a student to student bond. Being able to work on a subject with a partner at different times and different locations, creates less of a struggle to get together, plus you save gas (But seriously, big bonus!) Teachers always have comments towards a student’s written work, google docs makes it faster to reply back, typing and leaving comments right on that student’s document allows the student to clearly see their mistakes, or where they made a valuable statement.  Google Docs is  overall a more efficient way of completing your work, and editing it. Teachers or students can link a website called “Turnitin” to work with their Google Docs,  Turnitin allows you to check for plagiarism. When the two are linked together you can run a report seamlessly, and know if that work is plagiarized, making it easier to check if a student is writing in their own words and creating their own work.

This semester is my first time using Google Docs, and I love it! I don't know why I haven't been forced to make one before. There is no longer a fear of a document not being saved. I trust Google Docs with all my written work.

That being said, as a future teacher how will you incorporate Google Docs into your lesson plans? what creative ideas can you come up with?

Here I have a website Google Docs
