This week in class was amazing! I learned about two of the most useful tools ever - Delicious and Google Documents!!!! I had absolutely no idea that something like these tools even existed. I was so excited after hearing about these amazing new tools, that I started using them right away and I told several of my friends about them! These tools are examples of cloud computing. Cloud computing is a term for being able to use server-based applications as a service rather than being tied to a specific platform on a specific device or machine.
I think that these tools will definitely be helpful for me as an education major. I will be able to use Google Documents to collaborate with other teachers on things like lesson plans or presentations. I will be able to use Delicious to share links to helpful websites that I can use in the classroom that might also help other teachers.
This is a link to a youtube video that has teachers, principals, and students telling why they use Google Documents. I think that this is a great video because the people in it love Google Documents for the same reasons that I do!!
