Fixed the errors you pointed out - much obliged. Following your blog now - very interesting! @Giselda: Thansk for commenting! There's so much potential in collaborating tools like Google Docs, Etherpad and others. Very curious about Google Wave to see if it's the 'game changer' some are predicting. That could lead to some very interesting and innovative ways to teach collaboration in the classroom. @Marie: Thanks for commenting! Our school has not yet decided on a LMS, which is the reason why we are using Google Docs and its environment to teach students about collaborative tools, digital competence (with opportunities and pitfalls) - and I agree with you - it's very educational for the students to learn how to use tools such as Docs - and as the tools are developing with Forms and embedded elements possibilities are expanding. @Doug: Thanks for commenting!

I.e. the students write their text in the word processor and hand it in through the LMS. I also answer questions through the LMS IM function. I like the idea of using google.doc for free writing tests though. Reasons for this would be: 1) No need to save and send - only save applies. 2) The possibility of posting the assessment questions in the document, share it , and the students can just get on with their writing. 3) I do think it is very educational for the students to get used to actually using google.docs. I am sure there are more advantages and I am sure going to work hard to figure them out. Normally I use our LMS for this kind of thing.
