Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) is something I can not laud enough. This web application I do endorse completely. Not only do you have the basic functionality of Microsoft Office anywhere, its free and synced across all major device JUST BY LOGGING IN!!!
My example was a Gradebook demo. With a few simple formulas, you have a functioning electronic gradebook.
While this would seem redundant considering the actual district gradebooks along with all the online gradebooks available, the great thing about this kind of setup is that SEVERAL tablets, phones, and computers will let you temporarily download your Google Doc Gradebook so that you can work on it without an internet connection. Then when you are able to find a connection again, you log in, let it sync, and your gradebook is updated even though you had no wi-fi.
Plus this allows you to always have a back up in case a paper grade book is lost, the district gradebook glitches, or you just can't log in/keep getting dropped because of internet connection issues.
