Resume -Google Docs

This was my first time using Google Docs and I must admit it was quite a challenge.I have a resume on my desktop in word document but when I tried uploading it, I  kept on getting the following error message "No upload methods available,please check your system configuration".
After several attempts at changing settings etc, I decided to start all over and create a new resume from an availabe template which workd out fine for me.

After the initial hurdle I was challenged tol learn about the importance of google docs and how it can help me in my future career as a SecondaryMath Teacher.
Google Docs  is a free, Web-based office suite and data storage service offered by Google. That allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users.
In future this tool will help me to effectively collaborate my planning and writing, sharing information, working simultaneously with my students ,teachers and parents.
I believe that this assignment on using google docs addresses the third standard of the ISTE-NETS-T.Google
Using google docs will help me
  • Create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF's and forms online and make tem accesible to myself and others.
  • To collaborate and share documents with my fellow teachers, my students and their parents or guardians
  • To access my work files away from school or home without using a thumb drive
  • To increase students' ability to collaborate on documents, spreadsheets and presentations
  • To make ALL students in a group accountable for the group work
  • To peer edit documents
  • To create professional documents using templates
  • To help me communicate effectively with other teachers, my students and their parents or guardians
  • And to model and facilitate an effective use of technology to maximize sudent learning
