Google Docs

This tool is good for us college students. You can upload a document and share with your group members. Many times it is difficult to meet in person with your group and this tool can make it easier for us to work on together in our homes.

After watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYPjJK6LZdM&feature=related I saw how the older students may use this tool in the classroom. I like that the students can work on their paper on google docs and then save it and work on it at home. They don't have to email it to a friend and have the friend email to them back, nor do they have to purchase a flash drive to save on it.

Also the teacher and peers can add on to the document to enhance their writing and add suggestions on where they may need improvement. This is great for a teacher because the teacher can comment on specific parts of the writing and the student can see directly what needs to be changed.
