Here is my published resume!

As I mentioned in my Voki introduction, I play roller derby.  Google docs and sharing has been invaluable in that realm!  Google sharing allows many people to share documents, from meeting minutes, the league constitution, to attendance records.  It is an extremely helpful way to allow many people to go to a single place for information. We also share training schedules, calendars, staffing needs with other leagues-it's really endless. And I'm just now starting to get a glimpse of how helpful Google sharing can be.

Google definitely has its advantages over traditional desktop applications (TDA).  TDAs are extremely limited to similar attachment extensions and Mac vs. PC. Right now, I'm not really sure of any disadvantages, although I am exploring new applications for Google sharing every day. Google sharing is definitely a self-starting process. You have to look at common places like docs or calendars to get the full benefit and that is something I have been trying to remind myself to do more of. The calendar aspect has been invaluable as of late! I need to start putting homework on there!  I'm not really into Google +, I think the interface is not as accessible as Facebook, plus not too many people are on Google + yet. 

NETS T standards affiliated with Google sharing would be:
3) Model digital age work and learning
5) Engage in professional growth and leadership

Google sharing is great for any kind of work environment.  They can be used and accessed pretty much anywhere.  It is taking the place of the "water cooler," per se. It is a common area for multiple parties to converge, share, implement, edit, and share again.  Advanced classrooms can use this tool to share classroom expectations, course outcomes, or homework assignments. Whether it be a classroom or a boardroom, collections of people constitute a living organism and Google sharing is adaptable to that mindset.
