I have used Google Docs on a number of occasions, mainly for projects that I have had to for courses at George Mason University. Google Docs is extremely useful for group projects, it allows you to give access to a document that you have created to a number of people which you authorize to work on the document. For example, rather than having four separate people working on different slides for the same Power point presentation these four people can work on their sections of the Power point at the same time as others in the group. Google Docs is useful for individual projects as well, it allows you to access a document that you have been working on at any place where you are able to log in to your Gmail account.
I have never used the Google Chart Wizard, but after learning a little bit about it and how it can used as a useful tool I will definitely use it at some point in the future. Looking through the templates there were a number of creative options which I myself would never think of using. One chart, for example, allowed the user to chart out information on a map of the globe.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attach the link to the map which I exported from Google Maps in KML format. I chose to create a map from George Mason University to the local park. I attempted to open my KML file on Google Earth, but had some difficulty doing so.
I am registered for Zotero as well, my username is mia.fairweather and my email is mfairwea@masonlive.gmu.edu.
