I ran a few Google Docs workshops this week to help some teachers and administrators get a better handle on how, when, and why to use Google Docs. They seem to go well (even though some arrived asking “will I need my laptop for this workshop?”). Overall, there are a lot more people (faculty, staff, and students) using Google Docs these days.
