I think all of the provided ideas are useful in the classroom. However, some assignments required computers for every student in the classroom. Realistically, most classrooms do not have a computer for every student. I like the idea of using google docs to get to know your classroom. I also think the spelling test idea would be convenient if students weren't using the computers to look up words online.
After discussing the different ways of using google docs, we decided that the spelling test, emotion graph and getting to know your class were the three best uses of google docs. Some of the ideas seemed kind of time consuming and might be sort of confusing for younger students.
Survey
Google forms seems very useful for surveying. It's a quick and effective way to collect and organize data. It's also helpful that you can send your surveys to classmates by entering their email addresses.
