Using Google Docs in the Classroom

Howie DiBlassie, the keynote speaker for the November 4th PD day, reminded me of a useful classroom application of Google Docs. In classrooms with limited computer resources a teacher can create a generic classroom gmail account and have individual students contribute to a shared classroom resource such as class notes (Google Docs), research (Google Notebook), blog posting (Blogger). I do recommend changing the password on this account frequently as a security measure. Please watch this video reflection for more information.
