Thing 12: Cloud Computing

Google docs! I have been working with students, encouraging them to use the Google Docs that are available with the VCCS email.

• Need a free word processor? Google DOCS!
• Need a place to write your paper BEFORE you print it out at school? GOOGLE DOCS.
• No flash drive? GOOGLE DOCS!

Google Docs will not do everything, but for the basics on a budget--and a place that is always accessible, with an internet connection, it works great.

I use Google Docs for my Cub Scout recordkeeping, knowing that one day I can share the information...and pass it to the next Advancement Chair. We could collaborate--or I can transfer ownership of the records, all over the web. PERFECT.
