On-Line Word Processing


31 January 2009 - The class project for the day was to download a word processing program and assess its simplicity and possible use in the classroom. Our project was a program named "Buzzword", the program was unable to open on 3 of the 4 computers we were using. The program was very basic and simple; similar to word processing tools you would find on a email account.

The next assignment was the use of Google docs in which the student at using their computer would correct grammatical errors and language use. This is an extremely useful tool in my opinion especially in our multicultural classrooms, students will have the ability to use the latest technology and apply what they learned from the textbook and teachers instruction.

Then we added our classmates to our individual blogs as part of the SP'09 ED 480 family.
