I taught a class on Friday about Google Docs. I showed the students some of the things they could do, gave them a handout with login directions and let them give it a try. More than half had never heard about it. It was fun.
While students were creating documents and sharing them with their peers, one of the students told me about Google Groups. He and some friends had created a group for some school club they belonged to.
One of the things that is exciting about technology is that it often allows a student to demonstrate knowledge that the teacher doesn't have. It is one of the subject areas where teachers and students can often be on a voyage of discovery together. The learning and sharing is real and not artificially created.

Good for you for mining a good resource!
Frankly, I am thrilled when students have things to contribute. Good for you! It's less work for me and more fun for the rest of the class when they share their knowledge.
Deb, Care to share the handout for students on Google Docs? I would greatly appreciate it @ HIA Media. Thx. Coreen Sounds like a fun class, if we ever get back into the lab due to testing, etc.
