I have been using google docs with several committees. I was even able to introduce google docs to a small group of other special education directors who meet once a month. We now all have google doc accounts, post our agenda and each person can add an item if they so wish. At the meeting, one person take notes right on the google doc agenda. We usually use a color for the notes. When all is done, we save and close. Each member can spend more time listening rather than taking notes and we all have the same notes, so no misunderstanding about any procedures we are sharing. I also learned today that my contacts in outlook can be copied and put into google docs including my different groups, so that I don't have to rekey each email address of each group. It has been a great tool. I have been posting our case manager agendas this way as well. I feel google docs give "voice" to those who otherwise woudl only be receiving a paper agenda, as any member can add any agenda item they want.
