This week in class we discovered and perused Google Doc spreadsheets. WOW. I was previously familiar with Microsoft Excel, however, I do find that the Google spreadsheet is easier to use for my purposes. In Communications class, it might not be quite necessary to use a spreadsheet, but there are many instances where it would be helpful in terms of comparisons or contrasts between different sources or pieces of literature.
I have currently been running a fund-raiser for PWHS Student Council for our annual Gift-A-Child donation, and have been entering the class donations into a spreadsheet on Excel. I am thinking about transferring it to Google Docs because then my co-advisor can research and access it at any time. Currently I am still emailing her the daily monetary changes, and this would make the whole project move much easier...not to mention that if we continue with the fund-raiser next year, the spreadsheet is easily accessible by both the Advisor and myself. What a great tool!

There really is power in collaboration - I hope you find more uses as you go forward. And I think communication can take place in a spreadsheet - now to creat the lesson around it.
