Re: Have you used Google Docs? Freelink.org? Hotchalk?
Posted by Rebecca on 7/31/08
Google Docs works great but does have some limitations. I do
not use it for importing between Word and Google Docs because
that is where I have seen the most problems. I use it for
simple documents that I want access to anywhere, for group
projects (many students can be editing the same document at
the same time and since I require them all the invite me as
well, I can see exactly what they are doing and even who is
doing what), and for surveys (the spreadsheet part allows you
to create forms and it collects all the information in a
spreadsheet). I even did a few quizzes using the forms part
of the spreadsheet and it was so quick to grade because I
could look at all answers to one question at a time and
highlight any mistakes.
I have recently been playing with Google Sites which is a very
easy site to create your own website.
