type="cite"><PRE wrap="">We have some issues with google docs as well. Google images are blocked at our school so this presents problems with the appearance of google
docs. I also want firefox on our computer network but was told we cant have it. We are supposed to be a leading 21st century school!!! I love using
google docs and use them extensively both with staff and schools in other countries etc. Means it is difficult to use them with my students. It is most
annoying.
