Google Docs

I was pretty impressed with the Google Docs Resume Builder.  I had never used Google Docs to create a form.  It was simple and easy to use.  I haven't used Google Docs a lot but I like that you can do just about everything in it.  The form for the resume seemed complete and looked like most resumes I had used in the past. Google Docs definitely has an advantage over desktop computing because you can access it from anywhere and if you choose, so can anyone else.  In another class I had we learned to use Google Docs while writing a group assignment paper but that was the extent of my work with it.

As for using the information from this lesson in a classroom, there are all kinds of forms in Google Docs and just like the resume builder, you could apply any of them to a lesson and have the students upload their assignment to the web.  As more and more companies use resources like Monster.com, I would think that this kind of tool would be exceptional in the professional world.

I think that this assignment would relate to ISTE Nets T standard 3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.  I think this lesson would apply to this standard because it is more of a professional lesson than a school lesson.  A professional person that know how to put their resume on the web and continually update it appears to be a global kind of person.  They are out there for the world to see and hopefully hire.
