To begin, an aside. Although I wasn't feeling blue literally, it is always nice to make a change now and then. Apparently it is easy being green, hence the font colour change. I know what you're thinking now, small things amuse small minds? LOL
Again, like the concept of BLOGS, I'd heard of Google DOCS before, but like the masses who have only ever experienced WORD as a WP, I'd never given it a second thought. However, the ability to share documents in real time with my colleagues, whilst having access away from my desk, points to an application that could be used in the future.
This is especially the case over those holiday breaks when marking is taking place. The ability to post a document on the WEB, such as that @ http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dzfnpp9_0gz5rxgd6 has limitless possibilities in terms of sharing documents with staff and students alike.
The ability to draft changes and edit documents passed on to you is also a great feature. This would also be great when students say, send a draft essay to be corrected. That way I could simply make my changes and send it back. Nice!
