Google Documents--clever!

On a personal note, anyone interested in politics needs to subscribe to this new blog. It raises some interesting questions about the role of government in modern-day society: right to revolution

Anyway, on to my reflection:
Google documents is pretty cool. For older students, you could use this for rigmural stories like we did in class, or to collaborate on any kind of assignment from the kid's home, assuming they all have internet access of course. It would work much better than trying to get a large group of kids together to work on a project out of the school setting.
I think the great thing about this is from the perspective that you have access to your documents no matter what computer you're on. You don't have to worry about whether your word processing system is compatible with a different computer. And it works the same with excel or powerpoint.
The survey's a pretty cool idea too. But again, the obstacle is internet-access from your students. Anyway, here's my made-up survey that I created:
