I used a word document from my Algebra files to start the process. I was disappointed that all of the equations and drawings I had in my original document were not imported. I have not played around enough with it to know if I can find a way to fix that, but the equation editor in google was pretty good. The graphs cause another problem though. Some of the graphs I had on my original were pasted into word as a picture...I'll have to work on that one. It is very important for me to figure out how to put graphs into google. I also have not figured out the easy way to send the link to the class. I posted the link in the class questions area, but I would like to e-mail it to everyone... Using google docs will be great once I figure out some of these little things. I think as a math department we will be able to use this to help edit files. Right now we have a shared drive, but I think this is more user friendly. I'm not yet sure that I will be able to use this with my students in my math classes...
Keep at it, once the bugs are worked out it will be a tremedous asset for the math department!
