Pros+&+Cons+of+Collaboration

__Plus__

 * highly motivating
 * makes the most out of limited resources
 * don't have to be in the same room to collaborate
 * accessible if you have internet
 * students can use their strengths, which helps the product
 * students learn from each other (how to use tech, subject/content)

__Minus__

 * can feel clumsy if you're unfamiliar with tool, which gets in the way
 * accountability issues (some kids goof off...)
 * takes more time to teach the tool; is that time best spent?
 * since it looks so nice they get distracted from the content (play with fonts, for ex.)
 * tech issues interfere(lab time, page down, not saved, network issues...)

__Interesting (other thoughts that come to mind)__

 * Google as the owner of our property (our docs, etc, become Googles)
 * young students having gmail accounts
