Google Docs was first introduced to me by way of Teachers Pay Teachers. Several of the free items on TpT are accessed through Google Docs. At first, I did not understand the reason but now I know that publishers, teachers, and school districts are not always using the same platforms or versions of the same progra so Google Docs erases those challenges.
I have also used Dropbox to edit documents that were sent to me from my supervisor at my part-time job at The Children's Museum of Houston. She did not want to worry about emailing them since I do not always clean out my email box and sometimes messages with attached files get bounced back.
I think it would nice to use files that were created on my home computer on another device, without worrying about saving to a flash drive or emailing them to myself. I can also see the benefit of teaching students to use online applications so groups can collaborate from home computers/devices and then, present at the school library or in the classroom.
