Well, this "thing" didn't go too well. I signed into Google Docs using my gmail account, the same I use for this blog and I didn't have the spreadsheet "23 Things Learners." I am not sure if I changed my e-mail along the way or what was happening? I e-mailed the powers at be at 23 Things to help resolve this.
Thing 16 then said to play around on Google Docs. I tried to upload files and I kept getting the message that it wouldn't accept docx. I'm using Windows Vista and Microsoft 2007. I also tried other doc. and it didn't work. I then tried to e-mail using the long e-mail they provided and sneak it in using an attachment. That worked, but only for the text typed on the e-mail. I couldn't find how to open my attachment. :( More confusing than it needed to be! So, I hope to get a reply so I can know how to fill in that shared spreadsheet!
I can definitely see how Google Documents would be a very helpful tool! I wish we had this when I was in college and we were working on group projects! We've also had students this year work with partners on assignments in Language Arts class where they would've benefited from having the file on the Internet and different people can modify it. It really makes sense! Really this could be used for a lot of things, even a Powerpoint from what I remember! It would be really cool to have family members add photos to a Powerpoint doc that could then be shown at a family reunion!
