Using Google Doc's was a learning experience for me. I enjoyed all the many things that you could do with it. I also love the fact that others can get on and edit and add information as needed. I would love to use this tool in my classroom for multiple reasons. If I needed volunteers, I would make a spreed sheet with dates and times that I needed and send it to the parents so that if they were able they could get on and sign up for a date and time to come in and help, Also good for asking parents to help with field trips, and class parties. There really are so many different ways you can use google docs. You can use it to get information, you can survey your class and have all the data in one place that the class can go back and look at. I feel like google docs is a good tool that I would use if I taught a younger class. The thing with google docs is that you have to have an email to participate, and I feel not all the younger kids/students in younger classes have an email. So that is one down fall to it that I see. You also have to make sure all the students have permission from their parents to have an email. So if I didn't use it for my students, like I said I would use it with their parents to get information and to give them information as well.

The way I used it for this assignment was I created a Spreed Sheet that my students got to update. So we discussed physical education and the importance that being physically fit is. We made a goal as a class to at least get 30 minutes of outside of school physical activity a week, for 1 month. After the month we are going to reward ourselves with a picnic in the park and some fun outdoor games.
