Thing 16 Google Docs

We use Google Docs quite often at my school.  For my Principal it is a quick and easy way to gather information from her staff.  I like it so I can see what others have responded to her questions before I make my decision.  I think this would be great to use with older students who have an email account, as my first graders do not.  I love the idea that students are sharing their work with their peers and not just the teacher.  I think you would see better writing from them if they know another student will be reading their work and making comments.  I liked the quote from one of the teachers in the video that said, "I thought I was a good writer until someone else read my work."
