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

* Promote group collaboration and creativity by having your students record their group projects together in a single doc.
* 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.
* Create quizzes and tests using spreadsheets forms, your students' timestamped answers will arrive neatly ordered in a spreadsheet.
* Encourage collaborative presentation skills by asking your students to work together on a shared presentation, then present it to the class.
* Collaborate on a document with fellow teachers to help you all track the status and success of students you share.
* 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.

In this workshop, participants will discuss what Google Documents are and then create a project. Google Applications is a tool which has many uses inside and outside the classroom. It can be used for collaborative writing, revising documents and presentations, and sharing and publishing student work online.
