Thing 19

I used Google Docs last October to set up a mock presidential election for my 3rd - 5th graders. The format allowed it to be totally anonymous, with the help of my student "precinct judges." It was interesting to see the election through children's eyes, especially given the diversity of our school's population.

My district also uses Google Docs to keep up with database usage, library statistics, and formal book complaints, so I'm used to the format, but I did not know that it could be used for spreadsheets and presentations. The presentation mode seemed to be a little simpler than the newest version of PowerPoint, which is a good thing for me.
