BP4 Web 2.0

Education has always encouraged group projects for students to learn how to collaborate; a real world skill necessary for many scenarios, such as family units, work settings, etc... Prior to Web 2.0 tools, students had to work on their project during class time or had to make time to meet before or after school.  This created a dilemma of where to store the project, who was responsible for the physical project and if the one responsible for the physical project was absent, how could it be completed? Web 2.0 tool Google Docs is a document sharing platform that allows multiple people access to one document and the abilities to edit it from any computer with an internet access.  This tool solves the mentioned dilemmas and allows collaboration to be the focus of the project.  This tool has the potential to change the way students keep and organize their school work, even how teachers grade paperwork.   There will be no more need for papers to be printed or carried around with chances of getting lost.  Teachers can create worksheets, share them with their students and returned without ever printing or trying to decipher handwriting.  This tool opens many doorways to the future of education.
