Google docs

I think google docs will be a useful tool in the classroom in that the students can write their documents in googledocs and share them online with any other students in their classes, with students in other classes.  It is possible to do web pages, spread sheets and drawings.  It would be interesting to have the students do a "travel plan" with students from another state and they can make comparisons with each states differences.  For instance, student A is planning a trip to visit student B.  Student B will give information to Student A via the internet. the same goes for the reverse.  It would be really interesting to use this for students in foreign countries because there is information to be had from the people that live their that we can't access without having experienced the area.
