Thing #18

I have heard about Open Office before and I do like the office products, however I already use the Google docs and do like it. I am planning on using this to edit our AR folder and logs with the AR committee. I see this as being a great tool for collaboration. The students can use this when they are doing their collaboration for research.
Some of the advantages to using an online tool is that you can see the changes or addtions/deletions instantly. I know that many of my teachers have a hard time saving an attachment to their computer and then trying to use the markup tools in office is well impossible and then asking them to attach the file and send it back is really too many steps.
A disadvantage is that you will have to register and then a short training will be needed to use the sharing.
I do feel that this is similar to a wiki, but just centers around one document.
