Google docs is a space were people can create and upload word,excell and powerpoint files. From there, people can either use that site to store their documents and therefore access them from any computer OR people can invite others to work on a file together. [] is the google applications available for educators. A great way to get started with an online environment for free.

There are other ways to collect responses from students quickly and efficiently and provide them with rapid feedback. I ran across a video in which Google Docs is used to do just that. While it can’t quite match the immediacy of interactive response systems, as shown in this video, Google Docs allows teachers to gather information similar to that which they might collect using interactive response systems. Thanks to the [|creator] - this is a great step-by-step tutorial. []

In some ways, however, this approach has advantages over interactive response systems. While it assumes that students will have access to a computer (whether 1:1, in a lab, or at home), teachers can save and use the data. It’s far easier to turn these into a test/quiz than it is with the clickers, which are more designed to immediately gauge audience participation and understanding. As one Googler, Leon Kotlyar, noted when we discussed this video,

Teachers can use this to create quizzes and send them out to students. Because the information is stored in a document, they can do a number of things from here - keep it saved online, share it with other teachers, or share it with students so that students can review answers from their peers (for a prep test, for example).
