Google Docs and How it is used in the classroom

While I was researching this tecnology and different ways it can be used in the classroom, I found a site that google docs represents.  It is a collaboration of different ideas and ways teachers have used this form of technology in their classroom.  They have used it in a way that students and share their ideas and research in one document.  They also can use this has a group communication tool for students and teachers alike.
There are always negative aspects to a technology, one that I could find to become a problem, when definitely working with young kids is that when working with a document that they are all suppose to share they could erase each others works.  They would be easily distracted with this technology as they would be with any technology.   That seems to be a problem with all technology, becuase technolgy is very shinny and pretty so it easily distracts kids.
