"Google Docs is a favorite thing for many educators. It is a totally free, web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and form application. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users, especially for trainers using it in online classroom. In addition to being a stellar way to write, store and manage your documents and slideshows, is also a fantastically useful way to create online quizzes for assessment. "

This is the place to find things that are new on Google. It includes a neat sorting facility and the capability to quickly share via the major social networking portals.

This is a great Livebinders collection of all things Google including search, apps, docs, Earth amongst others. Lots of references to documents, video and slideshares etc. If anything there is just a little "too much" goodness to look through :).
