Reflection on Google Docs

One of the most important and interesting application of ICT I have found so far is the Google Docs. I was unaware of this application till I learn about this module EDN419. Google Docs is a free Web-based application and spreadsheets can be created, edited and stored online. The team members can work simultaneously in the same Document.

Working in group is the biggest challenges that the college students face when they have to work extra hours from the college hours. I have experienced and seen the group members complaining and having misunderstanding for not being able to turn up for group discussion. But now with the help of the Google Docs these problems could be solved. We can discuss on the topic without having to meet physically. Everybody can do their group work just by staying at their cozy bed room. Moreover, we do not have to spend hours in in front of computers/laptop in the computer lab to do the assignments or group discussion. we can discuss through our smart phones from everywhere and whenever we like.

In Google Docs, one member can start a work and then invite other group members through Email. The members can comment, add points and make necessary changes. Files can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection and can be stored online. we do not need USB drive to save the files. the files can be  saved automatically in the Google Docs or we can either link it to Google Drive. In a way we can save space in our computer/laptop.
 My group has planned a lesson plan on the topic plants and it part and function. The grouop has succesfully planned the lesson without any problems of gathering together. we had through discussion on how to go about the activities and other things. By now I am very confident to implement this skills in my profession and I urge all the teachers to use this application as well.
