A Living Document: KTC Uses Google Docs to Allow Staff and Students to Revise Papers

At KTC, we are using Google Docs as our platform for making, editing, and sharing documents.  The students at KTC have used Google Docs for their resumes, thank you letters (current assignment), and will soon for their cover letter.

On Google Docs, they will make their document, share it with me, I make comments or may tell them how to reword something, and then the students can go in and make the changes.




We opted for this after many students said they couldn't get their work done because it was in their file on our servers on campus or after they said that Microsoft Word didn't save their changes for them on their document.


Google Docs make it easy for them to type and make their changes.  We also love the fact that if a student can find internet, they can find their document and be able to work on it.





Please, encourage your student to work on their documents from home or anywhere they can access them.  These are graded assignments and we want them to do their best, which usually means that they made need more time than what they get while in their classes at KTC.  Thank you!
