Session #5 : Wikis & Online Production Tools
I LOVE the idea of Google Docs!! It sounds so convenient, especially when you consider how many students have technology that surpasses the district's. I can't tell you how many kids have Office 2007 and were unable to print at school because our computers were unable to read their work. Google Docs could really help solve this problem! I know that they can save in a compatibility format in Office 2007 that allows them to open their documents in Office 2003, but this is another option. Last year we had a student actually bring his computer up to school so that we could show him how to save. It would've been so much easier to show him how to upload and save in Google Docs with a computer at school...instead of him dragging his computer around town.

So true! Google Docs would be a great solution!
You make some very good points for Google docs. I think that eventually the district will have to go to something like Google docs. As we go 1-to-1, I think Microsoft Office is going to cost prohibitive.
