  PRACTICE & REFLECT

Practice makes perfect! Take your Google Docs skills to the next level:

1.   Create a new Google Docs and invite at least three peers to collaborate. Make
     sure your peers have access and are able to edit the document.
   
   
2.   In the document, collaboratively list the benefits and challenges you see to use
     Technology Enhanced Learning tools in education. Post this document or provide a
     link to this document on your personal e-portfolio.
   
   
3.   Google Docs reaches as far as your imagination! It is you that makes a digital tool
     like Google Docs come alive in education! Can you come up with more creative
     ways to use Google Docs for teachers and learners? Write a short reflective post
     on your e-portfolio about what you learned about Google Docs as a tool for
     teaching and learning and how you might use this tool in the future.
