I was not really familiar with google docs before this. My mother-in-law has been trying to get my wife and me on board with the google calendar, but I never had any practical use or knowledge of it before this class.
I really like the idea of not having to back things up to a flashdrive or disc. I could have really used this a few years ago when I lost a final exam because I could not open the file. As far as using it, I will need to practice more with it. Can I just invite my barrow county email address to view it though? I want to use it, but the firewall makes that virtually impossible. If there was a way around it I would use it in a heartbeat.
The advantages for me are really great. I tend to lose things if I am not extremely organized. This is an effective way to keep track of my tests and syllabi without having to worry about my tiny flashdrive. I also like this because I do not have a printer in my classroom. This way I can cut down on the amount of time it takes to print things. I like this technology.

Users of Google Docs do not have to use Google email address in order to take advantage of any of Google's features. You can certainly use Barrow County email addresses without a problem at all. However, someone will have to create an account using their Barrow email address in order to access a document that you have shared with them, if you send it to their BCS email address. Even if they already have a Google account under another email address, it will not allow them to access it. I discovered that the hard way one day :)
