Ok...I'll have to admit. Google Docs looks very much like a certain word processor program I use quite frequently. All of the commonly used functions are easily accessible. I noticed there are only a handful of fonts, but who needs Squiggly Serif G, anyway. The ability to share documents and collaborate on documents has the potential for immeasurable usefulness. I really like the feature of having unlimited revision history. I can't count how many times I've written a piece only to get to a point after a correction and realize that I like the new direction even more.
Seeing how many teachers have used Google Docs for lesson plans has started the wheels turning. In a school system where multiple teachers teach the same grade/subject, this would be infinitely helpful. Collaborating with other teachers through this tool could greatly improve the breadth and depth of the education provided.
That being said, I'm rather fond of Squiggly Serif G. Giving up my word processor and putting all my documents "in the cloud" is a little uncomfortable. But, I'll adapt.
Well, I am at least glad you are willing to give it a try....
