Google Docs Workshop


On March 1st, you had the opportunity to try out GoogleDocs in a writer's workshop situation. I'd really appreciate your feedback on how this went. What did you like about it? What frustrated you? Do you think GoogleDocs is a good tool for workshopping an essay? What do you think of GoogleDocs in general? Do you see other ways it might be useful to you? How might a tool like this change the way we write, think, interact?
