Google Docs

Google Docs is a real-time tool of collaboration and creation of documents. In this application, various users can edit a document at the same time. In addition, they can see each other’s' changes instantaneously. Users can produce text documents, slide presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, and surveys. It is also a free web-based and files can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection.

Google docs is an important tool in the language learning field because let students to write freely in terms of spelling due to the smart spell checker, which provide students with convenient writing support right on the page.

On the other hand, feedback has always been important in the learning field. For this reason, Google docs is relevant in this area due to the opportunities that students have of receiving immediate feedback on their writing. This feedback can be done not only by their peers but also by the teachers in the 24/7 classroom.

In terms of drawbacks, there are not much. The only limitation that I can identify is the limitations that most applications and technologies have, which is the need of a good internet connection.
