- Divide up work: Students can work side-by-side on the same document, splitting up the work load
- Always have their files: Instead of emailing files to themselves, students can upload their non-Google files to Docs and then download them at school.
- Record research: Instead of using index cards to record research for papers or projects, students can create a Google document and share it with their teacher
- Share research: Students can easily take notes and then share them with other students of their choosing (of course, this could also make plagiarism easier as well)
- Make presentations: Google recently update their Presentation maker to include things like embedding video files and creating animations.
- Draw: Use Google Drawings to collaborate on and create charts, diagrams, logos, etc.
- Meet up virtually: Students can be assigned group work at home (provided they have computers and Internet) and they can "meet" on the web instead of having to physically get together.
One thing that is certain is that those students who are comfortable with technology will always come up with new and unique "tweaks" to use these emerging technologies.
