B. Purdue Google Docs

During class we used Google Docs to do an m&m counting activity. Google Docs is very comparable to Microsoft Excel. The program is a spread sheet that allows you to enter whatever information necessary. It is a good way to keep your information organized and easy to ready. Google Docs can easily be used in any classroom that has access to a computer. It can be used to record answers to math problems, or to type in numbers found during research projects. It can also be used by the teacher to keep track of the student's grades and progress in class.

I like Google Docs more than Microsoft Excel because it can be accessed for free. The only way to use Excel is to purchase it with Microsoft Office, and it can get pretty expensive to buy that program for 30 computers. Another thing I like about Google Docs is that we all turned in our spread sheets to the same place, and we could just click on another persons tab and see what they did. It makes it easy for students to look at what others are doing if they need help or get off task. Google Docs is simple to use, and most of the tools included on the program are pretty self explanatory and easy to figure out.
