Google Docs

http://docs.google.com

This web 2.0 tool allows users to create a free account in which they can create and/or upload word processing documents, spreadsheet documents, and presentations.  These documents can then be shared with others (via invitation) so that multiple users can add to the documents from any computer in the world.  All that is needed is Internet access.

This free application provides a powerful tool that anyone within any school environment could easily use in many ways for instruction, as well as collaborative student assignments.  Students can also use this application to take notes during class and to store important documents which they need to access at a later time.
