I found this activity in class to be very useful and very helpful. I never new that more than one person could work on a docuement at the same time. Google Docs are very useful because we can store so much information and edit them at anytime. I love that I can invite other people and they can edit my information as well. I think that these type of applications are good tools to use in classrooms with older students. I would definitely use these tools in future assignments in the classroom. It is a great way to tell if everyone in the group is contributing effort and not just one person.

It is a great way for individuals to work together on project, but you still would have to set up some way to monitor who is doing what. As far as I can tell the documents only show who created them and who has edit rights to them, not who edited or contributed each detail. With some type of monitoring plan,you might be able to work around this problem though.
