The tool I selected to review is "Google Docs". This is a wonderful tool you can use to create a document or spreadsheet, store your work, and have multi-user access to. It is all done in one place called Google Docs. Google Docs allows you to give permission to select outside users to view or edit your work.
This tool is perfect for school group projects or for use as a central work area for group collaboration. It gives you the convenience of group collaboration by virtual use. This tool is accessible on any computer so you can work on your document, spreadsheets, presentations at your convenience and at any time. Google Doc has virtual chat site for you to work on your projects, discuss, and edit your contents with fellow collaborators all at the same time. Your work is stored in files in Google Docs. Presentations can be created and accessed from your Google Docs too. I also like the idea that a draft of your work is automatically saved.
The Google Docs tool would be very useful on the SCPL Home site as part of the homework page for students. We offer electronic resources and links to assist with school assignments so why not add this useful tool? I think this would be a good addition and would be used on a regular basis for papers, group assignments, etc.
