Google Docs (Thing 16)

I created a word document, Storytime Prepartion for this summer storytimes and invited Pat and Kelly as collaborators. I also think the Storytime Teams could share what they havefound to use duriing storytimes; such as books, fingerplays, flannels, prop story ideas and music. If we use Google Docs we can share, and add to each theme document centralizing our planning templates. And,Volia! they are done.

The Bluebonnet Program Committee used Google Docs to create, share and edit our Powerpoint slideshow for our presentation, Bluebonnet 101 during TLA so I have a little bit of experience using this.

As far as how this is different from other programs I have used is several people can work on a shared document, its cut down on the number of e-mails back and forth with revisions, you can view revisions which normally once a change is made unless you save as, the previous document is no more once you make changes and save, and you can easily choose a format for your document and all of the products are right there in a list to choose from.
