Abstract

Though at present everything is being digitalized and paperless, it has been seen that lesson plans are still being handwritten in the traditional way. This study aims at analysing the benefits of Google Docs in writing lesson plans. The sample for this study consisted of 60 pre-service teachers from two teacher training colleges in Goa, India. A 5—point Likert scale consisting of 15 items has been used to gauge the perception of pre-service teachers in using Google Docs. The data obtained has been analysed using SPSS 28. From the study it has been seen that a majority of the participants are in favour of using Google Docs for writing lesson plans.
