I'll add in something about levels of sharing. <br /><br />It is an issue, you're right, when students don't have a google ID. But you've come up with a good way to enable students to collaborate without one.

Thanks....Great pdf resource and blog post, Michael. Thanks.<br /><br />I think you need to differentiate between Sharing (Can Edit) and Sharing (Can View). I use the latter to post notes for students in the class blog (like you have embedded the pdf in this blog post).<br /><br />But the Computer class is going to 'have a go' at editing a simple Google doc by adding their email addresses to a shared list (accessible via the link and editable by anyone with the link) - just to give them an experience of collaborative authoring. Problem is, most don't have Google ID/gmail.<br /><br />Publishing to the web: is this the way to allow people to edit who don't have a Google ID/ gmail account?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278341347395180606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338782560941509889.post-34180005057226217942013-04-18T17:24:42.347+10:002013-04-18T17:24:42.347+10:00Thanks Pam, really appreciate your input here.

For instance, I use its sync capabilities and integration features with other document management solutions to help me organize as well as work with my business files.

Seems like it would have been a bit top-heavy with wiki gurus if I had lol! It looks like it was really well-planned and the tips you gave (to your imaginery audience) were ones that are really useful.<br /><br />On the topic of software changing on you - That happens with me and wikispaces quite often. They continually change things. The worst time was when I was giving a face-to-face intro to wikis class to a new group of very tech-nervous students and not only had they changed the sign-on procedure in wikispaces private label but added to that two keys got stuck on my laptop and wouldnt even type in the commands properly! I explained that the reason they were unable to get into the wiki was because wikispaces had changed the sign-on procedure and I was having to relearn it on the run! We eventually all managed to sign on and I reassured everyone that now they were all signed on the rest would be much easier - and it was! I have resolved to always use the bulk signup to wikispaces in future just in case it happen again!<br /><br />There have been countless other times with wikispaces so I know how you feel Michael and Jill!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338782560941509889.post-40459550814920086172012-06-14T13:42:25.167+10:002012-06-14T13:42:25.167+10:00Isn't it frustrating Jill, when the software c...Isn't it frustrating Jill, when the software changes just before you show people how to use it!!

Maybe I'll discuss these in a later post or add them to yours, Michael.<br /><br />The last time this happened was when I was showing my students how to blog using Posterous. They really were having trouble with the basics. Suddenly one day all the screen designs and navigation had changed. They exclaimed: why did you change it? I had to explain that in fact it wasn't me, it was the developer of Posterous who had changed it all quite radically. And that we'll need to establish new habits to feel comfortable with it again.
