While going through this course on www.lynda.com, I came to the realization that I needed to encourage my colleagues to get involved with this tool. So yesterday morning, I set down with our school secretary and discussed the possibilities of how this could make our lives easier. We have been collectively working on collecting money for Veteran’s Day t-shirts and recorders, with which we have to have an list of each student that purchased one. I maintain this document on my laptop in a spreadsheet, but I discussed with her how if I uploaded the document to google docs and shared it with her that it would eliminate me having to upload it and email it to her and would give her access to edit it if students bring money directly to her.
Notice that I found out simply how to sort all of my documents into folders, which really act more like tags than folders simply because all of the documents are viewed in the document list at all times.
Also, we compile a list of students who are less fortunate because during the winter months churches and nursing homes in the area buy for these students. Most of the time, the secretary and I are the ones working to put this together. Once again, I mentioned that this would be a great time to use Google docs. In fact, she was convinced that she is creating a gmail account and I have already uploaded the document to my account. The following is a screenshot of what we have started.
