Week #3 Thing #7

In a separate effort from Web 2.0, I have been working with GoogleDocs with my teaching team at school.

I can IM with them while we work in our own classrooms too. When we all have very full class schedules, chances to discuss things that we have to document like this get scarce. Technology is a good tool, just need to get used to it being a toy, too!

Getting Rolling...

So, having read the intro stuff, I'd have to say the "viewing challenges as learning opportunities" might just be my tough spot. On the up side, there must be a ton of them, once the viewpoint changes...
