Thing 9 - Online Collaboration Tools

Within the district, we are exploring the use of applications such as Google Docs and Zoho. We see potential with these online tools. Currently, a wrestling team from one of our high schools uses Google Docs to track meet and match information. The coaches like the ease of file sharing and the accessibility of the data. We do not foresee dropping all desktop publishing licenses in the near future. However, we see the possibility of purchasing fewer licenses as students progress through their K-12 experience and teaching word processsing, presentations, and spreadsheets as an attitude vs. an application.
