Productivity
I learned about Google Docs from my daughter a few years ago when we decided to create a family cookbook as a Christmas gift. We set up a format for the recipe and invited family members to send their family favorites.
It was great, but we didn't use it to it's full advantage. We could have added family pictures and stories to really personalize it. A few years ago we did a family recipe book in Publisher, which looked good, but took a lot of time because only one person had to manage all the information.
I think I'm ready go give up on Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I can see the benefits of using Google Docs in a big school district where curriculum collaboration can be difficult because of scheduling constraints.

ReplyDeleteThe only worry about moving everything to an online platform is the dependency we have with an Internet connection. That is to say, t use the service, you have to have near 100% Internet connectivity.
If your 'net is down - no one can do productivity applications.
