Wow! This was a great video clip and it gives great support to the utility of Google Docs in the classroom. For my reflective media asset for this week, I also plan to make a video on my thoughts about how useful Google Docs will be for me in my classroom. What interests me most about your video, is that it offers support for the use of Google Docs in any content area or subject. Much of my research into Google Docs, and lessons that one could use with it, have focused on my content area, French as a second language. I saw Google Docs as a way for students to collaboratively practice writing skills, but I like that you describe how it is not just a tool for building skills but for building collaboration itself. In a way, Google Docs is also a great tool for teaching students how to work together. It takes the idea of the group project to a whole new level and brings the future to our world today! I completely agree with how Google Docs is a lot like Facebook and MySpace but still completely useful in educational settings.
