Google Docs, Yes, Yes, Yes

I love Google Docs.  I think ultimately this style of application will become the basis for how we get students to work collaboratively and present group work in the classroom in the future.  The most amazing aspect of Google Docs, to me, is the ability to create a "form" that students can fill out, helping you obtain survey information.  As has been demonstrated in class, where we fill out account info and user-names, the "forms" aspect of Google Docs can completely organize "secretarial" aspects of classroom management and organization.  Most importantly, the sharing aspect of the files is incredibly useful for users, allowing team editing and effective benchmarks to establish progress in a particular project.  I always hated in school dividing up tasks, completing my assigned section and wondering all the way until the due date if my partners were keeping up their end of the deal.  With Google Docs, ideally a student would be able to see how his/her partners are managing the material and assist them if need be.  Also, as a teacher it can be more easily identifiable as to which students contributed and how much, based on timestamps, for any piece of group work.  Again, I love Google Docs!
