Thing #18
I looked at Google Docs. I think that it could be useful for kids trying to do a project away from school where they don't have access to the server. They could have a shared password with their group so that they could all work on the documents. This could also be a way for class members to get a form for an assignment. If the teacher had the form on a common class google docs, they could access it from home. I think most computers these days have some kind of document program, but if a student was working at the library or at home they could have access to their work where ever they had the oppotunity to work.

That is exactly what my high school son has done! He has been able to collaborate with all of his group members and get together a great project with minimal face-to-face time. It's very helpful when trying to juggle all of their schedules!
The idea has been tossed around in our library department of using Google Docs to update our policy and procedures manual. The current one is quite old and definitely needs revision, but who has time to get a committee together, schedule meetings, etc., etc.? It would be so much easier to work together remotely using a tool like this! Of course, someone's got to actually get the ball rolling and so far that hasn't happened yet!
