Google Docs


An awful lot of my students are now using "Google Docs" as their primary software.  This means that I have had to get at least modestly comfortable with the programs too to be able to read and examine some of their work (Technically, I would not have to do this, but I would not want to be perceived as a "hard ass"... I am already perceived as a hard grader.)

I suspect the reason why so many students use this program is is likely the case that it is free (like most "Microsoft Office" programs used to be).  I have tried it a bit, and it is somewhat interesting and usable, I guess.

    Same here, I also have no idea about the use if Google Docs and really have no immediate need to know.

    Does this mean that they are submitting electronically? No more paper? If so, I think this would be harder for you.

    It is my understanding that Google is no longer supporting Google Docs. It is a shame that there is not a really good word processor that works across platforms.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
