Google Docs is a great way to create documents, spreadsheet, and even presentations in a way such that multiple members of a group can provide input and make changes. I really like the fact that it saves when any changes are made (eliminating students issues when files are just "gone"). I also enjoy the fact that you can see past versions of the document (or spreadsheet). The only downfall that I have found on google docs is the requirement of internet. This is not an issue for most students, but for a small handful it is an issue. One thing that I did not get to see how it works is when multiple people work on the document at the same time. According to information on google docs, many people can edit it at the same time. Another great feature for collaborators (especially those students that like to wait until the last minute to finish a project). I have had students use this free web-based software to complete a project for a statistics class and it worked very well for them! I strongly recommend that others check out this software.
