<div>And the great thing about Google Doc is that it allows real time collaboration between users.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Used it in my Year 9 class when I got students to create a presentation in groups. Students can chat and edit their presentation at the same time via Google Doc, although there was a bit of a lag between someone editing something and for it to appear on other group member's screen. (10 seconds in some instances!) It seems to be working much better now since the lastest upgrade about 2 weeks ago.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The thing I like about it is it reduces the problem of students having different versions of their presentation on various medias (USB, emails, etc) and trying to find the right one or collaborating it right before their presentation!!</div>
