We’ve heard many ingenious ways that teachers have used Google Docs in the classroom. Here are just a few:

* Keep track of grades, attendance, or any other data you can think of using an easily accessible, always available spreadsheet.
* Facilitate writing as a process by encouraging students to write in a document shared with you. You can check up on their work at any time, provide insight and help using the comments feature, and understand better each students strengths.

* Encourage collaborative presentation skills by asking your students to work together on a shared presentation, then present it to the class.

* Maintain, update and share lesson plans over time in a single document.
* Track and organize cumulative project data in a single spreadsheet, accessible to any collaborator at any time.
