MODULE 3

Google has entered our language and is expanding it's meaning beyond a search engine. The many forms that google has entered into has enormous implications for learning and how we use ICT. With the advant of more free online software applications such as google docs, we can log onto any computer, anywhere and access a range of our own and other people's resources and encourage our students to learn in collaborative way. Google docs are very similar to the software we are already using but paying for so it is not very difficult to learn how to use it. The main limitation at the moment is access to and internet speed in our schools. To wordprocess, develop presentations and use spreadsheets online at the moment would create practical problems due to the speed of our internet connections but I am sure that will improve soon!!
