Dogs act like children ..... Right?

Years ago, exchanging information and ideas through shared documents often wasted valuable days, while waiting for a reply through snail mail or interdepartmental mail. Whereas email changed the accessibility, the challenge persisted when the response was collaborative and a consensus was necessary. Therefore, document sharing through Web 2.0 tools, expanded the ability for interaction within real time. Many Web 2.0 tools, such as Google Docs, offer versatility within the professional community as well as the classroom.


To understand the usefulness of document sharing, Margee and I created a document about our fondness for dogs, especially our own pets. Besides, my blog is about children, and my dog thinks he is a kid. This seemed to fit .... into my child development theme! If you have a pet and would like to share pictures, join in the fun:

Later this spring, I plan to use Google Docs for an upcoming preschool project within my child growth and development course. In this project, students will be assigned sections to complete within their group. After creating a special document, they will be able to collaborate at home or at school.
