Thing # 18

Google docs would be great for collaborative projects with teens. For instance, if I had a group of teen volunteers working on preparing a Reader's Theatre presentation for younger children, and the teens wanted to work on an original script together. Each member of the group could contribute, as their time allows, to a script, or a series of scripts (they could each be working on their own script but all of them in the same document, with an agreement that each can only directly edit their own, but make suggestions for the others') in progress on a Google word processing document.

Also, I'm currently on an NJLA committee that does most of the work via e-mail. A shared Google document used to manage all the work contributed by each member would be very useful - and really save space in my e-mail account!
