Kenneth Griswold on 15 Oct 13Agreed! Thanks Dorie. Also, with Google Docs integration in Haiku, students can "turn in" google docs to a Haiku assignment. All of the sharing is then handled automatically, and you, as the teacher, can launch, comment, and annotate the students work from within Haiku. This makes it very convenient! Likewise, if you add a google doc to a content block in Haiku, it will automatically be shared with the students in that Haiku class. When you add it, you may choose whether to grant viewing, commenting, or editing permissions on the doc to the students in the class. Then students can launch that document directly from your Haiku class. Google Docs + Haiku makes managing assignments in Google Docs/Drive much easier.

Kenneth Griswold on 15 Oct 13One other thought: Bypassing Haiku for a minute, I have also read about teachers using a google form to "collect" assignments in Google Drive. Students "turn in" their assignments by completing a short form with their name and a title and description of the assignment. Then they paste the document url into the form. That way, the teacher has a spreadsheet with each student's name and a direct link to their assignment. So, the teacher can go line by line through the spreadsheet and grade and annotate each student's assignment. I thought this was a clever solution.
