What is Google Docs?   Suite of software like Microsoft Office, with some unique features   Google Docs in Plain English  
Basic Functions              Document = Word                            Presentation = Power Point               Spreadsheet = Excel                   Forms populate a spreadsheet
Must Have  Three  Things Internet access Email account Google account (attached to the email address you chose)
Unique Features Stored securely online (Invitation only)  Accessible anywhere with Internet connection Tied to Google Account which is linked to a specific email address Multiple people can edit at the same time.
Unique Features Sharing and Editing a Document      200 person limit per document           Access levels:          Viewers (can only see it)          Collaborators (edit and view document)             Simultaneous editing:          Limits:     Doc & Presentation- 10                          Spreadsheet- 50 
How Can This Help? Collaborate from a distance and asynchronously Accessible anywhere, not tied to one computer Easy to share and control access editors, viewer, or publish online
Examples http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=119 Kansas State Professor created a Google Doc to facilitate a brainstorming session 367 edits made in one week.  "Students wrote the script, suggested survey questions to ask the entire class. The survey was administered the following week.”
Examples Google Document used to create this guide: Using Google Docs in the Classroom    
Some Teaching Advantages  If Teacher is Owner or Collaborator:      Can give feedback in progress      Can observe work in progress      Can track student participation    Viewer only:      Can track student participation      Can not give feedback
Administrative Uses Great for single documents meant for a specific group of people: Agendas Handbooks Lesson Plans (Shared Courses)
In-Class Uses Group work Chat within Spreadsheets and Presentation One teacher observed higher level conversation in this format http://www.twentyfortech.com/?tag=google-docs-in-education   Tests or polls for instant feedback
