 * GOOGLE DOCS WORKSHOP **

Online documents like Google Docs make real-time collaboration possible. Teachers and students will find many benefits to using and implementing online documents in their teaching and learning efforts. Today's curricula rely heavily on group assignments and online documents are useful for shared notes, peer editing, and instant feedback. Teachers and students can collect and share information without printing, access documents from any location and keep a continuous log for assignments and plans. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has developed the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) which are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge students need to live and learn in a global digital world. Using technology to to analyze, learn, and explore are digital age skills vital to educating students. Integrating online documents in the education arena can help teachers meet the ISTE NETS for students as well as their own goals as educators. Below are two of the ISTE Standards that Google Docs can help achieve. []
