Google apps is great for group work
Alright, I know this post may make me sound like I’m arriving late to the Google Docs party So fine, I can take it. And I’ll admit that I haven’t had any real opportunities to use Google docs for shared document creation. But in a recent workshop I was part of a team where we had a lot of collaborating to do in very little time — and we used Google docs as our collaboration platform. It was simple, easy to set up, and worked REALLY well. The coolest thing was that we all had the document visible on our computers and could watch the edits unfold as each person took turns on it. No need to refresh the screens — no need to hand off the editing. In fact the document showed who was actively editing which section. It was easy, dynamic, and a crucial resource to support our collaborations.
