15. Teacher Comments I've "tested" using Google. Docs with my 4th grade FIG class. We're still"l earning" together, but they've really enjoyed it. Students have learned how to e-mail/send/share documents, use the tools (spell check works wonders), and basic typing skills (tab, spacebar, moving the cursor). Thanks, Alyssa
