Google Documents is a keeper. It is compatible with and functions much like the Microsoft Office Suite. This makes it user-friendly. You can upload existing files. If you are familiar with Microsoft Office, you don't have to go into learning mode.
What sold me is being able to access your work from any computer. This eliminates the need to use or carry any saving device. Also, students cannot use the "I forgot my homework on the computer."
Google Docs is also a wonderful collaboration tool. This opens up communications between teachers and students, the staff and teachers, teacher and parents, class and community, etc. It opens up the possibility of groups doing wonderful projects that can later be shared. It, like Microsoft, allows for all sorts of things to be imbedded or attached.
Google is very conscious of the lifestyles that exist within communities. Thier products come to you.
