This week was interesting because I finally made it to the final draft of my unit plan. I really think that using Google Docs as a way to share this unit is useful because I could see this as an excellent opportunity to collaborate with others. For example, I could easily share this unit plan and all of the attached materials with other teachers and they could do the same. I also liked how I was able to include links to the additionally needed materials within the unit plan itself, making the overall process and use quite easy.
In addition to my unit plan, I enjoyed being able to help another classmate by showing how I interpreted the unit plan that they had created. Hopefully, by looking at the project analysis form, my partner will gain an understanding of those areas that are clear in their unit and possible areas for improvement.

I am glad that you see the value of using collaborative tools like Google Docs. Online collaboration itself is an authentic activity that will drive our communication for years to come. I am also pleased to hear that you found the project analysis a valuable exercise. Gathering objective opinions is critical, and is often overlooked in the education field.
