Reflection: The use of Google Docs has been a great tool for collaboration. It has allowed me to share so much more materials with our Daily 5 Professional Development group without printing off papers some will never use. It brought professional sharing on different aspects of literacy to a new level for me. Also, liked the collaborative ability for editing and drafting, by both students and teachers in our inclusion Language Arts classroom. I plan to continue to explore uses of this tool as I know I have just scratched the surface this year.
