Google Docs

I have heard about Google Docs from others students and how it makes group projects much easier. I am always a little hesitant to use technologies that make things easier because I assume that they will be time consuming to set up, which makes me stick with my old ways. However, I am working with another student on a project and we decided to try it out. I couldn't believe how easy it was. By uploading our power point presentation on Google Docs, we are both able to access and edit it versus sending copies back and forth via email. The only thing I noticed is that you do not have the full range of editing capabilities that you have in the regular version of power point. For instance, the tool bar was limited and we did not have a "format painter" button. So although technology can make things more convenient, sometimes it complicates things. Once we are done editing the content through Google Docs, we are going to have to retype it all into power point to be able to play with the formatting. I guess some technology comes with a price, its just a matter of determining if its worth it. Check our google docs.... http://docs.google.com/
