This is my experimental blog in google docs. I've had an account for quite a while but never used it. One time I tried to get a class signed up in google in order to work with their partners using google docs. It didn't work. Most of them were unable to sign up. I posted on calib at the time and found out other librarians had had the same problem. I gave up on it after that.
Our district continuation school distributed net books to all the students (not many there) and they only use google docs. It seems to be working over there. I don't know if it's because we have an older staff or people don't want to be bothered but teachers here are not interested in web 2.0. I think one reason is it can be complicated setting everything up. Too many glitches, not enough time. I just noticed the other day that I have been missing a lot of posts. I feel really dumb. I've basically been blogging just one of the things every week. It took me all this time to figure out that there was more than one thing each week. Should I go back and fill in the holes?
don't feel dumb! :) it sounds like you're learning a ton, and if you didn't dot some of the i's or cross some of the t's, oh well! learning's messy like that! :) stick with it and have fun! :)

p.s. your district's continuation school sounds really progressive! 1-to-1 netbooks and only google docs! wow! i wish my school (and every school) were that way! :)
