Google Docs is another outstanding Web 2.0 tool. It is an online word processing application that allows a document to be accessed by multiple people, who can be anywhere in the world with an internet connection. It allows for collaboration and group work without the group actually being together.
The Google Docs application has a wide array of uses in the classroom. It is an obvious choice for implementing group projects as homework. Since it can be accessed any time, anywhere, the students would be able to work on the assignment at different times without having to physically exchange existing work. It is also very helpful for the teacher, because they would have access to the document as well, allowing them to monitor the work being done and provide feedback throughout the work process.
