These two Google tools are awesome! Especially Google Docs could become a great tool for writing essays. I definitely have to ¨play¨with it more before I introduce it to my class.

That is the best way I've found to learn these tools - just play around with them for a while. The only problem with that is there is so little time, especially when you're overseas and taking classes! I hope you do find some time to check out Google Docs though because you're right, it is a great tool for students to use in writing, whether is for collaborative assignments or just editing their own work, Google Docs is amazing. It's also wonderful for communicating and planning between teachers. Check it out.
