Google Docs looks like a great way to share and edit our written work. This from the google site: "Edit and present with others in real time. Multiple people can view and make changes at the same time. There's an on-screen chat window for spreadsheets, and document revisions show you exactly who changed what, and when. Viewing a presentation together is a breeze, as anyone joined in a presentation can automatically follow along with the presenter."
We could post our docs here and either use the on-screen chat window or do a skype conference call while we work (See my comments under Stacey's post about skype. I did some research. Here's the link about conference calls: http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/conferencecall/).
If we do a skype chat while working on Google Docs, we can bookmark for later use. Not sure if that is a feature on Google Docs. If it is, no need to open two windows.
Google Docs might solve some of the problems we've been having with our current wiki (space limitation, fee after certain storage used, and login problems). Thoughts?

Dear Jen,
I've asked Marcin if he would ask Dr. Nasbo for us if we could meet at Cranston Calvert today in lieu of the grade level math meetings. I would very much like to set up a google docs area for our library collaboration and try out skype. Anything which is FREE is a good thing!
Am very amenable to anything that can help, and that we can maybe use with our non-librarian colleagues next year as well!
I invited Dr. Naspo to join our blog as an author. I'd love to keep her involved in our many projects!
(For those of you outside Newport, Dr. Naspo is our district's Executive Director of Teaching, Learning and Professional Development, and our library supervisor.)
