Google docs allows you and your students to collaborate on different documents (word processing documents, spreadsheet, presentations). The document is stored "in the cloud" which means that it can be accessed via the Internet. Instead of having multiple versions that you are sending around all collaborators work on the same document after logging into Google docs. To learn more how collaborative tools such as Google docs and Wikis are used in School Libraries read School Libraries Using Web 2.0 Collaborative Tools on Veronica Calvo's wiki. Here is an example of a survey that I created using Google Docs:
