My "Wow" Moment
Much of this course has opened my eyes to tools on the Internet and the resources that the Internet offers that I probably wouldn't have known existed otherwise. Honestly, in all the time I had been using the Internet almost each piece of information taught in this course was new or I had just barely been acquainted with it. This indeed is a "wow" moment. I'm thankful to now know so much more about the tools and resources the Web offers. More specifically, when we began to use the Google tools I was taken back. Never did I realize Google offered these tools and never would I have thought to use them. They are incredibly useful and amazingly simple to use! They allow for multiple users to collaborate on a document in real time, meaning you see who is editing and what they are editing at the same time you may be typing something on the page. This does not all have to be done at the same time more importantly. You are given access to these tools and documents on your own time! There is Google Spreadsheets, Google Documents, Google Forms and Google Presentations, just to name a few. You can create tests right on the Internet that anyone can access and submit their answers to or just put up some links you'd like to share with your friends. All of it is incredibly user friendly, or for those who are struggling tutorials for using these applications are offered as well. I hope this link stays live because Mrs. Cindi Danner-Kuhn as comprised the most useful and relevant tutorials all on one page...Google Tools Tutorials.
