Sharing documents

Vad tyckte du om Google Docs?
Google docs is a wonderful  tool which can be used when one is writing  short texts and even projects. I used it to write a short text last week and I found out that formating could not be done with google docs. I was forced to transfer my work to word. It is not suitable for long texts, but one break long texts in several sectictions if one wants to work with Google docs. What I found to be very interesting is the fact that a record of all the work from the start to the end is available and one can always refer back to the history of the text.
Var det lätt eller krångligt att skapa och publicera ett delat dokument?
It was actually easy to create, publish and share documents. I did not experience any problems att all and I will continue using Google docs.
Vad tror du om detta som ett sätt att samarbeta kring dokument? Fördelar/nackdelar?
As I mentioned above the only problem I experienced is that formatting is basic and so it does not suit somebody who is working with long texts or projects with several titles. The advantageswith using Google docs. is that several people can work on the same project at the same time or different times. This would really work for teachers and students. The fact that historical records are kept makes it possible for the teacher to notice students who are not active in group work. I would encourage my students to use Google documents when they are doing  assignments
Vilka risker ser du med att dela och lagra dokument på Internet?
The risks with shairing documents online is that documents can be used wrongly. The owner of the documents might have had good intentions but the people whom we share documents with may not be having the same intentions hence using the documents for unintended purposes.
