Online communication tools are very common in today's world. For example, the majority of things listed on this page all fall under the category of them. Blogs, Wikis, bookmarks, citations, etc. are all online communication tools. Each of these online tools creates a community, where people can share and or post things. Each of these can be edited by one user and they can exchange information. This is a way for people to seek communication via the computer. People compose posts for blogs and wikis, share their favorite websites for bookmarks, and list citations for books, articles etc. for citations.

One online communication tool that I think is worthy of mentioning is Google docs. I think it is neat to be able to communicate and collaborate with your peers at the same time. If you go to the website: docs.google.com , you can work with others and create your own document!

Google docs is a great collaboration tool for teachers and educators because it allows them to create lesson plans and share them with co-workers and supervisors for addition input and revisions. Google docs also includes spreadsheets, similar to Microsoft Excel, where teachers can record students' grades with easy calculations. Google docs has the advantage of saving material online, so that teachers and educators can access their work on any computer without flash drives. Also, having all the documents and spreadsheets on one page is good for organization. Google docs is easy to use and easily accessible.
