Experiencing Group

Recently I have been experiencing new tools that I can use in the classroom. Ranging from google drive to learning how to use iMovie in our classes.Google has not only taken over the world, but they are positioned to take over many of the classrooms! There are many Google resources and applications that can be utilized in the classroom. Google Drive  is an online word processing application that does not require the user to install any special software in order for it to run. The service offers real-time collaboration, document import and export, real-time saving and revision history. The strength of Google Drive is in its ability to afford mobility to the computer user. For example, a person who uses a Windows computer at work can work on a document there, and then work on it at home from his Mac computer without the need for OS-specific software.THis also allows for a teacher to do in class edits while their students work on essays. This also allows for 24/7 communicatio beween the teacher and their student.
