Thing 15 How might you use this tool in your personal and professional life? This is a great tool for collaborating with peers. I really see it being useful for working on all the NEASC reports we will be focusing on during the next school year. A bonus is it allows us to keep older versions so we can see how the thoughts progress through the process and if necessary go back to an earlier version. It would also be great for sharing curriculum documents as we continue to revise all of them.
What issues come to mind about using this tool with students (ie, they need email addresses to log-in)? The fact of students needing email accounts continues to be an issue for both access and legalities. Again, that's why with younger students I like epals. It is totally secure and the teacher can create "imaginary" accounts that the students can log in with. Wikispaces also allows teachers to set up logins for students without email accounts. This was also helpful when I did the Wiki Spice it up a Notch with students.
I have attempted to post a power point presentation on google docs for all to enjoy and add to. Here's hoping I did it right. I think that collaboration is a valuable tool for all and look forward to seeing my presentation grow and improve.l

I think Google docs has more implications for teachers and older students - I agree that the younger crowd needs a much more secure site to work from
