Using Google Docs Reflection - Period 4



We have done our first project with Google Docs. I like using this tool because you can use Google Docs on any computer and because it is easier to work with others.

Now, I would like to hear from you what you thought about using Google Docs. What worked? What did not work? What suggestions/feedback do you have?

I look forward to your responses.

Google Docs Reflection

I really like using Google docs. It is good because some people don’t have work systems like power point. I don’t, so using Google docs helps be able to work on a power point for school. Also Google docs are a way to get work you need to do any where with a computer. I know I loose my flash drive a lot and not being able show presentations.

What didn’t work is that having to be able to share the work by typing in an address. Other wise everything worked just fine.

Google Docs Reflection

I think that Google Docs is a great program. I thought it was really cool how two people could work on one document at the same time. It was very helpful because I could work on it in school and at home. One thing that I found to be a problem with it was that in the slideshow part of Google Docs you could only make a table by doing it on Microsoft PowerPoint and importing the slide. If I needed a table in another slideshow, that would be a problem, because I don’t have Microsoft PowerPoint at home. That was the only problem; other than that I like Google Docs a lot.

Mr. Ardito
We've been using the google docs for our product claim lab, I was supposed to do certain work on it, it would not let me sign in I tried to do the help process but it involved waiting 24 hours and I can't do that. Can you please give my partner and I another day to work on our project? Can you also help me try and fix the glitch and sign in with me tomorrow Tuesday november 17? Thank you.

I like using google docs becasue it runs smooth and never has errors. It is fun to personilize your start page with games, calenders and virtual pets. It also makes it much easier to share work. Its really cool that you and your partener can type on the same page, at the same time!

The one thing that I liked the most in this experiment was using google docs I like how two people can work on it at the same time. I also liked that we could design are start page the way we want it to look

I really liked using google docs because more than one person could work on one project at a time. Also, i think that it was really cool how you could get to it from your igoogle pvconline homepage. I also liked it how you could choose who you shared it with and who could work on it. I look foward to working with google docs in the future.

I like Google docs better because it allowed us to work on the same things at the same times. I also liked how it never messed up and you could personalize your start page with games.

The google docs are good and bad because:

THE GOOD:it automatically saves, you can share it with your partner, you can use it at home without a flash drive, 2 people can work on it at the same time.

THE BAD:nothing really.

i thought googledocs was very useful and fun. the weather page was extremly accurate and i liked to look at all the cool gagets you can get like all the vertual pets. All the other games were pretty fun to. so google docs would be the first thing i would go t when i use the computer to learn and have fun at the same time.(mostly fun though!!!

I liked using Google Docs because it’s very covenant and easy to use. At first I didn’t like it because it was confusing and had too many steps but now that I understand how to use it, it works really well. Something that I really like about Google Docs is that your partner and you know what each other are adding at any time onto the document. It helped a lot that you can share your document with other people/partners/teacher. I didn’t “not” like anything about using Google Docs and I don’t think there is anything we can do to improve it.

What i liked about Google Docs was that you can work with it at home or at school with out having to email it to yourself. What worked was that you can share the document with other people.

I thought google docs was a very good tool because it can share with partners I also liked it because it has a Microsoft PowerPoint on it and my computer at home doesn’t have that so I can work on stuff at home. I didn’t like it because it is a little tricky to find out how to send stuff to people. I really can’t think of anything we could improve on.

I sort of liked using Google Docs. I liked it because it was easier to type it up and send it to you online, than writing it up by hand.
I didn't like it when me and my partner were working on it at the same time, it would immediately show what they did. So for example, if i thought a comma needed to go somewhere, be they didn't we could go back and forth having their results on the page, and then mine, and then theirs..... I think you get the point.

I didn’t like using Google Docs. It would be helpful if someone didn’t have PowerPoint but since I have it at school and every computer in my house it does not help me. I also didn’t like Google docs because you couldn’t change the slide background. I didn’t like Google docs because you had to click the spell check button just to correct errors and that you had to left click because I’m used to right clicking in Microsoft Word. I like the Google personalized start page though I like that you could put games and important information on the page. I didn’t like to use Google docs but it can come in handy.

I really enjoyed using google docs. At first I thought it was very confusing. I realized that it was not confusing at all and it was easy to use. It was really cool how you and you and your partner could be working on the same page at the same time. It's an easier more fun way to work.

One of the things that I liked about using Google Docs was that you and a group can both work on the same thing and you don’t have to e-mail it to yourself or use a flash-drive and also you can see what the other person is doing. What I didn’t like about Google Docs is that it has no spell check and sometimes when you are editing something at the same time someone else is, your text just gets deleted for no apparent reason. What also is kind of annoying is that if you use the power point than you can’t put in a chart without downloading a slide.

Peace <3 :)

REFLECTOIN ON GOOGLE DOCS

I think a google doc is good because two people can work on the same document at the same time that’s really cool. I like the fact that you can work on it from school and home. I like that it also has a slide show. The only thing that I do not like about google doc is that it does not spell check for you. You have to click the spell check button. So if you forget you have to back on.

Google Docs Reflection

I liked using Google Docs. It was hard in the beginning using it because you mail and your documents were in two different places and i would often get confused between those two things. I would be in my mail and freak out because i though my documents were gone. I know, wow. Once I figured it out i thought it was really cool. I liked how multiple people could use it at once and how you could work on project at home too. Overall I liked Google Docs and I look forward to using it again.

I enjoy using Google docs. The thing i liked most about it, was that 2 people could be working on one thing at the same time. I think its a good source, because you can use it on any computer. And i also like how you can talk to other people on it. I think its great that if you forget to email a project or something home or to school or where ever you don't have to do all the work and save it you can do all that on Google docs. and do less work saving it.

The only thing I didn't like was that i got confused on what to click on and i think we should go over it as a class.

I had a good time using Google docs. I think that it would have been easier if the slide show was not as hard to put in a back round and words. My favorite part was probably making my home page with all the cool games and links. I think we should use Google docs again
