Online File Storage Now Part of Google Docs

Google just keeps making itself more and more valuable to me! I love the possibilities that I have to use the Google Docs tools to gather information and work collaboratively. I can’t WAIT for our students to have a Google account option so that teachers can make good use of it, too. But now I’m really anxious for that day to come because they’ve added online file storage to the Google Docs application. Now you can upload, store and share any type of file into the Google Docs arena. We have students using a similar program through Kan-Ed called the “backpack,” so that if they want to finish a project at home and still be able to access it at school, they can log in and use it. This will give the kids even more file storage space and is so simple to use. The traveling teachers that I work with will also love this application as they can access files of all types in whatever building they are in at the time. Here is a link to a great blog entry by Glenn Weibe about the details on using the feature: Tip of the Week: Google Docs “G” Drive.
