Reflection -Module 3
I am really happy about the potential of Google Docs because of the reduction of paper trail and of the game of email ping pong. 
I have already shared a couple of documents that have required Admin approval before I have distributed them.  In the past this process was a matter of emailing or showing a hardcopy and then if any changes or additions were required you would have to go back to the document yourself and make the changes and then go through the process again to approve those changes.  Sharing a Google Doc makes this process far more streamlined.

Practical Applications
  1. I have just created a google spreadsheet ready for next Term's Year 3/4 Gala day. The students choose whether they play Cricket or T-Ball on the day.  I normally get them to fill out a preference form(lots of paper!!!!) or I ask them and put it on a class list.  From there I put them into teams.I have created a spreadsheet with all this relevant information and will share it with one of the class teachers in Year 3/4.  I have inserted all the names so that all the student will need to do is insert their preference.  My next challenge is to see how I can get the computer to make the teams for me : )
  2. For PMIs on programs I have implemented, I think it will be really useful to create a survey to get feedback from relevant colleagues and then organise the data in a spreadsheet format.
