Google Workshop - Hour Six, is it

Now, a shared Google Document.

http://docs.google.com/

Three authors, Jennifer Banas, Bill Freese, Sung Hee Park, are working on a single document. The rest of the room has been broken into similar teams. It is an odd experience. We tried the experiment of having one person change the spelling of a word while another person was replacing the word. We got a message telling us of the conflict, and that one person's modification was discarded. The revisions tab allows tracking of changes, including who did what. Handy for grading.

Our collaborative document is now available at http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dcdnmpzk_0cd9nvr. And now it is successfully posted as a blog post, sent here from Google docs.
