I use Google tools: email, Docs, and Calendar for all my grade 9, 11, and 12 socials and history classes who do all their work on class laptops. I do all my classes and work online through Google tools. The students, almost 120, pick up their work with their Gmail account and open them with Google Docs. When they are finished they email me the results after completion. I share my Google Calendar with all the students and they can then keep up with the class even if they are ill or on vacation. On occasion they have a real time chat with me on Gmail chat. Without Google, all of this would not be possible.
