How are you using Google Docs?

I hear so much of how schools and districts are trying to use Google Docs more in their planning and communication.  In conversations with other teachers at the last CUE conference and the amount of presentations which focused on Google Docs within them shows a trend of the use of Google Docs within grade levels, school wide and in some cases district wide.

I am trying to implement them into my grade level one step at a time.  I know there are a lot of you in schools who are using them to collaborate, share and to conserve paper.  Please share your ideas and experiences with me on how you plan or already have implemented Google Docs into your daily use. Please share how maybe you handled some questions like:

• What basic skills do teachers need to use Google docs?
• Any obstacles that can be overcome?
• What are great grade levels ideas for doc use?
• How did you get teachers on board with using Google Docs in replace to traditional practices?
• How did you get your admin to get on board?

Jenith Mishne has some resources at http://jenith.wikispaces.com. I attended her presentation at CUE 2010.

Please leave a comment or idea below of how you or your school, district uses Google Docs.
