google docs & me

I am relatively new to google docs. However, I did use google docs in a group project last semester in the class The Young Child and Technology. I think it's a good tool to have when working with others. I was surprised when it was first introduced to me because I never thought something like that existed. Too bad I didn't invent it myself! Anyway, google docs lets you know when others are signed-on and editing. You may share some documents but not others. You can allow for others you share with to have the option to share the doc with others whom they choose or not; except in order to have this control you must be the "doc owner". You can chose who is the "doc owner". So just because I created a doc doesn't mean I will always be the "owner" of the doc, I can give it to someone.
Personally, I like the whole set up google docs has, like with the stars and cute little pencils. I think google in general is just so wonderful. There's so many attributes, I can see why Kean has students invloved.
I think the professor or someone mentioned what could be negative. Well, as I mentioned before, I did a group project with google docs and in fact experienced this unfortunate negativity. When sharing a document anyone who is in the group can change the document. I wrote this whole essay on the topic which we were assigned. I really spent a lot of time on it and thought it was great. The other girl in my group didn't think so. She actually deleted my whole essay. I was crushed! I thought it was so rude and hated google docs for it. Everyone is different with different opinions so what may seem brilliant to me may seem irrelevant to someone else. See, sharring a doc like that may cause controversy in content in terms of what should be said and how. I do think it's a great concept for multiple people to add onto the same document while being at different locations. I think that people should write in different color so everyone knows who added what exactly. Overall, I think google docs is cool.
