I am a firm believer in Google Docs! I believe they're the more excellent way to group projects. Our group has been using Google Docs since day one, and I wouldn't do it any other way. The project I found it the most useful with, besides this consulting project, was our chapter presentation. We were able to create a slide show in which we could all add our input to the slides any time we wanted.
What I liked most about Google Docs in this assignment was the fact that we could all be sitting in the same room with this same document open while talking to each other and adding our ideas. Sometimes it can be so frustrating being the scribe in the group that has to listen to everyone else give their two cents and expect you to write it down. With Google Docs, we didn't have to worry about that at all. Also, when we weren't all in the same room, it was very easy to use the chat rooms available. I'm definitely a firm believer in using Google Docs in group projects and assignments.
Hooray for Google Docs, I love using them for group projects, they are a great collaborating tool. Leave it to Google to make life easier. We are using one for our consulting project and it really does make life easier.
