Thing 10

I totally love the idea of Google Docs, as it will save me printing and sending out each and every homework assignment. Now I will just need parents to access it and respond when the assignment is done. Another puzzle to solve.

One of the problems I had, though, was uploading documents. They didn't look the same as the original document, though I tried it several times. What would be the point of creating a document if it's not going to look right? Must be that thing about limited options in comparison to the original program. For example, on the spread sheet, I couldn't merge cells or upload the picture I had in the original document. On the text document, none of the lines appeared, and spacing was all off.

I did upload a new document to a colleague, and am waiting for her to respond.

Part of what we do involves confidential information, which would not be appropriate in google docs. We'll have to continue to do that in-house, which is not a problem since we have a common server.
