Google Docs

Google Docs is an awesome site to help families communicate in the classroom.  It allows anyone who has a google account to communicate and collaborate through documents that are similar to word documents.  There are some positives and negatives about google docs in my opinion.  The positives are that it allows sharing documents with a group of people of any size, which can be important in a classroom setting for parents and teachers to communicate.  What I didn't like about google docs was the slideshow option, I didn't like the functions for it at all and I think it would be so much easier to just use power point.

Google docs will be a good tool when students are working as a group because it can be accessed at home or from any computer.
