Thing 16

Wow, I never knew that something like Google Docs existed, but I guess I never gave it much thought. That is a pretty neat thing that students or co-worker could work on editing together. At our school, we do have a shared drive which all the teachers can get on, however you can only access it when you are at school. Actually, this week I ran into an issue because I need some of the information on the shared drive, so now I have to drive a half hour to my school to use the shared drive. Google Docs would have come in handy! I thought editing and uploading documents was a breeze. Some issues that I foresee would be making sure that everyone has access to the account. For example, some teachers might think that it would be a pain to have a Google Doc account when we have a shared drive. The same might go for my friends, who might just want to email a document around to edit or share it. I do see maybe getting all the students an account might be time-consuming, but I think it would be worth it.
