Importance to education

 

Google Docs is very important in education, especially for teachers because it offers many tools that help them use a different technique in the classroom. It is very useful not just teachers, it helps students, too because they can work along with the teacher making their learning process easier and more interesting. A good example is that  they can work together creating essays because through Google Docs the teacher can monitor step by step their progress by correcting any grammatical mistake, giving advice to improve their work or adding information. Another reason for its importance is because teacher can use more often the work in groups which sometimes causes a lot of problems among students, so through Google Docs the teacher can know who really is doing the homework or who is not because in Google Docs you can ask your students to share their documents with your email and have access to it , therefore you can check their progress anytime  Also, it is good for teachers because students can work on a document and access it from school and home, so the teacher won't hear the typicl excuses like "I forgot it at home" or "I have a different program at home".  Finally, teachers can use Google Docs with other colleagues elaborating agendas, portfolios, lesson plans, projects, etc which will help them keep time and save their documents in a safe place.
