Wow, creating and sharing a document via Google docs is quite easy. I can definitely see how this will be an advantageous way to collaborate with others. It makes working on a research proposal or journal publication (those who have been around me for the last two weeks know how I am struggling with making revisions to a journal submission).
The educational dynamic is also quite open as well! I like the idea of small group projects and students can each work on their own component part to the document without having to wait for an e-mail. Furthermore, they can use Google docs to share work instantly and others in the group can offer input almost immediately.
Is it easy to copy/paste this a Google document into a Word document so it can be printed with proper margins, fonts, spacing etc.? As an instructor, I really don't want to be given a paper that is only on Google docs. I may still be a bit "old fashioned" about that.
