I really enjoyed this tool!! It is the first one I was not frustrated with!! I liked Google Docs, the ease of using it, and its purpose which is to "stop" the multiple copies of attachments we send out everyday! There is one copy of the document that you invite people to "write" on which also cuts down on your work of trying to compile information from a group of people. It is also much safer than to have multiple copies of documents flying all over the place! Smart!!!!
Google Reader is very cool!!!! It is a way to have all your sites that you follow come to you!!! What a neat way to maximize your time while keeping up with your important/interesting/educational blogs and your interests! I love it!!
As a team leader, the Google Docs can help me organize everything from "house keeping items" to team projects and beyond. I am really looking forward to using this next school year. The Google Reader will help me keep up with blogs that will help me grow as a teacher. Maybe towards the spring semester, I might be able to "follow" kids in my class with lots of teacher support.
On to Tool #5!
I love Google Reader for exactly the reason you mentioned - it helps the individual to keep up with other's blogs. Information is increasing at such a rapid rate it is nice to be able to subscribe to some favorite blogs. Even then though I sometimes get a little overloaded and just give myself permission to "mark all as read" and start over. Hope you find some great blogs out there to subscribe to!
