Thing 2: Using Buzzword, the cloud app

I use, and have my kids use, the Google Docs word application frequently.  It has proven invaluable when kids are working in groups and need to share or add information to a document at odd times of the day.  In fact, it was the text tool my philosophy students used to create their script for the PhotoStory presentation comparing Socrates, Plato and Aristotle just before Spring Break.
Using Buzzword instead of Google Presentation took a bit of an adjustment.  The Google Docs interface is very similar to that of MS Office so things are comfortably common and generally easy to find.  Buzzword, as with all Adobe products, take a little time to get used to.  Once I got the feel of the page, I was able to easily start a simple presentation.
Because there are 4 other media specialists in the class, I invited all of them to help edit the presentation.
