What's Up Google Doc?

I have found Google Docs to be a great collaboration tool! You have a centralized location in which you can upload documents and/or presentations and have others go in and be able to work with you and edit all in one area. No more annoying email attachments, multiple files being saved, and wasted time. Google Docs gives you the opportunity to truly work together within a group all the while being efficient.

How can I use it in my classroom?
There are numerous ways to utilize this tool within your lessons. You could post online quizzes, have a project that the entire class works on together, create groups that can create presentations together without hassle, students could write group stories, or edit one another's essays without wasting paper on multiple copies.
