What's Up Doc? (Google docs)

Google Docs has many features within it that are very beneficial to students and teachers. It is very easy to collaborate on individual documents which would help on group assignments. Students can work at home and not need to worry about the logistics of meeting in person after school to get assignments and projects done. Googledocs also allows you to centrally store your documents which eliminate the 'my dog ate it' excuse or forgetting your jump drive at home. Teachers can use googledocs to produce, and even score tests (with an add-on). A teacher could put all of their class records online from attendance, grades, contact info, etc - so they can always access their information wherever they are, whenever they need it. Other than the 'distrust' that some people have against 'The Google' - I have not seen a lot of complaints about Google Docs. People will always find something to complain about - no matter what the topic or program is - but I have not been able to find any more against google than any other application that offeres similar services. The best part is it is 100% FREE. People grow up with the mindset that Microsoft is the Holy Grail of everything and everyone computer related. Not anymore - with alternate operating systems, be it MAC or a hodgepodge UNIX clone, and Google products, you could never spend a dime on anything Microsoft related and still function normally, and in some cases, better than you would if you lived in a Microsoft World. Personally, if I had stock in Microsoft - I would have sold it a long time ago - their days as the center of our PC Universe are numbered.
