Goggle Docs for Group Projects.

We do quarterly projects in our science classes. I encourage the students to work together, but there is always the issue of balance in the students sharing the work. In an attempt to manage this I thought to use Google docs.

I was wondering if others have tried this and if they had how it worked. Also, if anyone has suggestions for other applications I’d be interested in hearing about those.

I also have had problems with students working in groups. Every year I run into issues the day before a project is due. Accusations of doing all the work or the project isn't ready because THEY didn't do their part. I've tried having the students keep a log book and documenting their activities but there is no way for me to check if they're true.

I'd like to see how using something like Google Docs works.
