So, Mohammad asked me to help him edit his paper. He is at work. I am at home. We have no uninterrupted time together to work on the project. So, I emailed him a google doc. containing the essay. He is learning google docs and the benefits first hand. Now, he can type an essay and I can help him revise it on our own time. Even if we were in two different places typing at the same time all we have to do is chat to be together. He was skeptical at first, but I believe that with some encouragement we can really go places.
Also, with my wish to be a teacher the concept of google docs is a way that I can reach my students at a personal level. They can be engaged and have one-on-one help as well as it being their own work. Collaborative projects are the future.
