Using Google Docs in my classroom

I looked at the 2nd grade Utah State Core Language Arts Curriculum. There are lots of objectives that say pre-writing, then compose, next revise, last edit,and publish a story. Google Docs are perfect for this kind of thing. They are all online, so they can't use the excuse "I forgot my homework" and the students can help each other out. Another Language Arts Standard says "students will understand, interpret, and analyze narrative, and informational grade level text." As the teacher, I can make a Google Doc of an article or anything, then the students can log on and analyze it all online. They can also put their comments right into the Google Doc, so other students will be able to see what other students thought. Google Docs could be used for other subjects as well, in science, for example, I can send an informational text on the planets, then have them discuss it all online. Social studies, math, etc can also be taught/enhanced by the use of Google Docs.
