Google All The Way- Thing 16

Talk about cool! I get a headache of just thinking of all the ways I can use Google Docs in my personal and professional life. Here are some of those ideas that I came up with before I needed an aspirin:

Personal:
*I am on the Board at a private school. I am needing information from everyone on the board. No one has responded to my emails. I created a "form" in docs in which they just had to answer 3 simple questions. Google then puts this right into my document when they answer. I have a ready-to-go spreadsheet. How cool is that?

*I am also working on developing the library for said school. I can see using Google docs to create working lists and letters that I collaborate with the staff with.

Professional:
*Working with other colleagues on one item. This item can just be opened up and edited without other copies made of it. We do have something similar to this at work in which we can access a "shared" file, so I do not seeing using Google docs with my colleagues much.

*Working with colleagues in different schools/different states. Now here is where Google docs can come in handy. Unfortunately, I do not do any of this as of yet.

*Students: Last year I had some students who would submit a Word document file for me to read and grade. I would highlight parts and make comments. I then had to save it to my computer- reattach it in an email and then send it back to them for revision. What a pain. Google docs would eliminate that for me I believe.

*I could create graphs and questionaires and things for my students to work on. I see a lot of possibilities with this being a science teacher. Collecting and storing data, for example.

Not Sure About:
*While this tool is great, I do not think I would be able to have all of my students get their own google account. If everyone doesn't have an account, then the purpose of saving time is defeated.

Our district runs on Moodle and I am trying to understand that at the same time go through this class. I believe students can send me files, but I have yet to see if they are files that I can just edit without making new copies.

I will continue to explore Google. I am definately switching my main personal email to them as they have so much more to offer.
