Google docs

I love Google Docs.  I think this has so much potential for everyone, teachers and students alike.  I like the transportability of this app.  The fact that you can access anywhere, anytime for most uploaded documents is just a great idea. For students CHATT is good for transporting files from home and back but most want to use their own hotmail etc. which is not encouraged.   I see this as a much preferred way for students to keep their assignments fluid between home and school or when working with friends on a collaborative project.  No mucking around with USBs or read only documents etc.  I found out however, it doesn't yet understand Appleworks documents.  Could be a minus for students at the moment in Halton.  I also like many of the templates.  It has everything from certificates to maps for carpooling!  Like also the aspect that you can work collaboratively with many people as long as permissions are granted to those individuals.  Would be great for cross building, board work.  A thumbs up for potential! Here is an Intermediate sheet that you might want to use for the Comprehension Strategy -inference.
