Task 5 Google Docs

I have used Google Docs before. My son who lives 6 hours drive away has on several occassions asked me to share a document with him. It has been a fasinating experience especially when we are both working on the document at the same time. We have highlighted our individual changes by changing font or colour so the other person could check over the changes before final publishing.
At the moment I am accessing a Google Docs as part of a Postcard Project. In this project classes around the world are sending and receiving postcards to each other. We are able to keep track of what is happening by signing into the Google Doc.
This process has always fasinated me and I thought the person creating the document was so so clever. Now I've had a play and discovered the process is much easier that I thougfht it would be.

  2. Lyn, I found a suggestion on 'Interesting things' where they used google maps in conjunction with the postcard project
