Collaborative Tools

Google Docs is a great tool in any learning environment. I heard the name, "Google Docs" before, but I never knew what it was. Most email providers have a quota on email size which can limit a person from sending documents to a large group of people. Limits on mail size can hinder group work. Google Docs offers a safe environment for even large groups to access the same document and work together on a document. I believe that group work promotes a higher learning environment. I plan on promoting Google Docs to help my future students accomplish group assignments. It will teach my students to collaborate on assignments and it will also teach how to work around scheduling difficulties when dealing with large groups.
