Thing 9 - Online Collaboration Tools

In our district, our technology committee has used Google Docs for meeting minutes and many shared documents. It worked well after resolving a login glitch. I like the option to get an email update whenever changes are made to these documents. It has made collaborative development of documents much easier. Additionally, it gave easy access to community members on the committee who would not have access to the district network where documents were formerly stored. I also have a Zoho account, as we have considered Zoho Writer, in particular, for student use. Although most students manage transfer of documents between home and school, occasionally there are problems. We believe that online access to documents may work more effectively for some students.
