Google Docs is one of the great apps I have explored during my learning experience. I remember that when I was at school, most of my teachers suggested us to start using it since it is very easy to use and manage. However, I did not have a computer and I did not like the idea of doing homeworks by the computer. To me, homeworks were better at hand, but through the years, I started becoming aware about the advantages of using this app.
In my school, there was an attempt to develop and enhance cooperative work since most of the parents were arguing that they did not want their children to do homeworks in others friends` houses, for them, it was better to start using the computer as a way to perform tasks with no moving from their home in their free time. I really love this app because it facilitates the development of tasks , optimizes time and enhances the cooperation among partners . It is significant to recognize that this great app is now taking place in different settings due to the features it provides. It is a powerful tool in academic scenarios because it promotes autonomy, cooperative work and responsibility. Some years ago, it just provided the feature of sharing documents and editing some aspects of the text, but now that technology has settled into many contexts,google docs provide more features to correct, align and adjust the document.

You don't have to just use the Chrome extension with web pages, you can use it with Google Docs, Chromebooks, Google Classroom, and display/embed YouTube videos, questions, and discussions.

Interesting tool to add a more personal touch to student feedback and excellent for making contact with online students more personal.

I think this has the potential to be of great use with English Language Learners, especially since they tend to understand the spoken word better than the written.

Very true, David. One more tool to meet the needs of individual learners.
