It might not be too mind altering for me to hit the same subject from another angle.
I'm sure it won't, actually.
I've been instructed to log about the experience of "participating in a collaborative document on Google Docs," but I reflect on a familiar experience, yet I believe I'm expected to gush about it like it was the most exciting thing I've ever done. Maybe I'm overreacting, or I might be reacting realistically, as I was asked to comment, and not provide anything--well--of substance?
Background? Right on. I've collaborated a lot over the years. I've rewritten pages via email. I've collaborated over etherpad/piratepad. I've collaborated via whiteboard using individual colors. I get it, it's a bit more convenient, because it's an actual word processor being used by the whole group. But I don't honestly feel like it was a compelling practice; what we did. There was nothing but a relatively limited and uninspired experience writing the same thing as everybody else.
I suppose I get to check that off the assignment list, but I was hoping it would go somewhere.
Fortunately it was familiar ground.
