Thing #18 Take a look at some online productivity tools

I'm writing this blog post on Google Docs, which is a wonderful tool! I share it a lot with students, who often work on their assignments at school, at home, in the library, at their friends' houses... With Google Docs they don't have to worry about saving their work to disks which then get damaged in their backpacks, or left behind in a disk drive somewhere, or aren't compatible with the next computer where they might sit down to work. And Google Docs is excellent for group work. While a wiki is great for lots of projects, Google Docs is ideal for something that will eventually be turned in as a typed paper. I've been using Google Docs for almost a year now, and I love it.
