ink you have to have basic trust and, as in papers that may be writing usin=
g other word processing programs, go with your gut when you have suspicions=
. I think we have an obligation to be optimistic. Our students sign on to=
our google domain. We are collaborators on the paper and can view the hist=
ory,etc I find that to be a pretty helpful tool ( as well as somewhat revea=
ling about study times and habits+. Outlines should be the first step and =
those can, and perhaps should,be created in class . The paper is not writt=
en until approval has been given at that step You can require and schedule =
some of the writing to be done in class as a gauge .=20
Hope this helps. What we are talking about is not so much google docs at a=
ll here, but ethics and honesty. Kind of sad.

For those of you using Google Docs at your school......
We are implementing a pilot program for Google Docs this year. There are so=

from a concerned teacher....

Thanks for your help!
