[Air-L] Google Docs

[Ronald E. Rice]

We use them as the coordinating tools for our Center, in an attempt to 
provide one shared location for calendars and scheduling, budget and project 
spreadsheets, draft documents for comments (I don't recommend using the wiki 
component because it changes doc files into html files that don't translate 
back so well), and a display interface for discussing things in meetings and 
for visitors.

> For those of you who are not aware, Google Docs are a free service from
> Google that allows multiple authors to collaborate synchronously or
> asynchronously. There a word processor, a spreadsheet, and presentation
> package. While not as full featured as MS Office both the feature more 
> meet
> most needs.

> I've been fascinated with Google Docs and am looking for more ways to use
> them more in the classroom. So far I have students working tip sheets
> together and a group exercise where students enter in the names of various
> pizza parlors then vote on them by placing their name in the same row.

> How are others using Google Docs.
