Is there a cost for setting up an entire class? Did you have to have a separate email account for each student, or can the teacher set up a main account for the class and then add students? Thanks for the great post.

I work with adult ESL students, and I am modifying your spreadsheet to help them take notes on classmates' autobiographical presentations. Using Google Docs to collaborate on note taking good prove very useful to them in their future college classes, so I'm excited to see how it will all work out. I have added this article to the blog that I write for my ESL department and other colleagues who are beginning to investigate using web tools in their teaching. Your ears will be ringing with praise because several of us have talked about using Google Docs but needed a hand to get started. Thank you for that hand!

As a LOTE (Languages Other Than English) teacher I see lots of potential for the use of Google Docs in our classes. Thanks for sharing :) Great ideas Tom!

Staff are very excited and I know have shown the system to other local schools. I will include a link to your blog alongside our planning as it is nice to see what other are doing.

I went through some similar experiences implementing Google Apps in two of my Social Studies 10 classes this fall. I feel like I am only scratching the surface of all the things that can be done in Google Apps and Google Docs. My students have created collaborative websites where they have inserted some of the work they did in Google Docs. I've also begun using Google Forms for general class surveys, self-evaluations, and I will be having my students complete a quiz using a Google Form on Monday. I'm looking forward to checking out the work you do with your students over the course of the year. I also look forward to exploring some of the links that you added as well. I would love to keep in touch with you to share ideas as we both go through this exciting process if you are interested. Let me know and keep up the great work and blogging! Dan Reid Great post, Tom!
