[Pibe-division] Google Docs Access Challenge

[DrV]

Thanks Dr Robinson. That is very helpful.
Can anyone else provide some additional thoughts & insights? A few of the
Tech Committee members are very strong Google Docs enthusiasts. I could
sure use as much hard data & expert user/teacher testimony as possible.
Thanks
Eric
