This is another cross post<\/a> I wrote for IEAR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was reading a post from Adventures in Teaching and Learning<\/a> by Mr. Keenan, Why the iPad IS for Content Creation in Education {iPads in Education, Mobile Learning, 21st Century Learning}<\/a> and I splurged and bought one of the featured apps in that article, Office2<\/sup> HD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Office2<\/sup>HD<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to buy it for one main reason that I just couldn’t resist: it allows you to edit your Google Docs documents! Not just edit, you can create a document and save it as a Google Doc! I was already resigning myself to have my students create written content on their iPads and then either email them to the desktop computers or use Dropbox<\/a> to get the documents to the desktop where the documents could then be uploaded to Google Docs. Now we don’t have to! The one shortfall I have come across so far is that I can’t find where or how to view comments left on a Google Doc on Office2<\/sup><\/a>. I’m still working on figuring that one out but I can’t find anything. It doesn’t help that when I add “comments” into my search I get mostly hits on blog comments. Maybe people haven’t noticed the problem or maybe it’s just me.<\/p>\n

[Addition: I found the comments! While re-reading a google doc on Office2<\/sup> HD<\/a> I scrolled all the way down past the end of the document and voila! I found the comments!! So it does work. Two thumbs up from me!]<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While searching to see if anyone else has noticed that you can’t view comments or if someone has figured out how to view comments I came across this blog that describes Office2<\/sup><\/a> very well and gives tips on how to set it up to view your Google Docs documents and spreadsheets as well as your Dropbox<\/a> files. Viewing and editing those files has been working very well for me. The blog is Editing Google Docs with Office2 HD<\/a>, from MobileContent Today<\/a>. It’s worth the read if you plan on buying this app.<\/p>\n

This app was definitely a good purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
