Online collaboration has many uses in the classroom. It is a great tool to use all the time for assignments. As a teacher you would be able to monitor how the students are doing on their assignments. You could see who has started and who hasn't started certain assignments. Another neat thing is that you can go into their assignment and edit it if need be. This will also speed up grading times, and reduce the use of paper. It will be very easy to share the students work with his or her parents. I think this is the new wave of technology in schools, and will hopefully make life a lot easier for many of us.
Jing is one of the coolest things that we have done in class. I always wondered how you could capture images on the computer. There are so many uses for this in the classroom that I don't even know where to start. Anytime you are walking the students through a new program you could make a slide show like we did for picasa. You could use it for a powerpoint presentation to include different images or step by step instructions for something. I am very excited to use Jing more often.

Google Doc. is such an amazing tool to use for teachers. I love the idea of being able to edit and review my students work online. This is such a great way to help your students step by step through project. Many times it seems the hardest part of doing an assignment is not knowing exactly what to do or where to start. With this technology they will not have a snag in the process and I believe they will find it exciting and will be more confident in their work.
