Thing #20

I REALLY, REALLY, think google docs is a great tool. I have heard many teachers say: "I sent it through google docs" or my principal say "you can find the letter on google docs." Now I see how it's used and how it works. I created a document I saved in my computer at work, but that still needs work. I needed to have a document in which I could inform my parents the reading level their child was currently in, so I created a simple "your child is reading at level __________" and "By this time, your child should be in level _________."
I can see how this tool would be great to share documents with other teachers. So many times I would email other teachers in my campus or in other schools documents I created, but now the process will be much easier. With each tool, I think of a million things I could do with it if I taught older students. I really want to figure out ways in which to accommodate some of these tools for my kindergarten class, so I am thinking about contacting other teachers who might have used them already. For now, I was thinking about uploading the documents saved to my computer and sharing them with my teammate. Also, I was thinking about sharing some documents (calendars, newsletter, etc) with parents. If anyone knows any ways in which to use this tool with my kindergarten class, let me know!
