Google Docs seems to be the answer to the job-share and grade share teacher. As most programs are written in collaboration this application would eliminate much doubling up of work.
Google maps are an interesting application and there now seems to be no excuse for getting lost. Many of us own GPS devices as well as having that application built in to many mobile phones. My children have been using Google Earth for a few years and I have used it in limited ways in the classroom.
Google Books was a fascinating site to visit and one in which I can easily become lost (in the nicest possible way).I accession books in the school library and use SCIS Opac which allows you to learn more about a particular book which is Google books. This is a valuable tool for everyone as you can read, gleen, find part of, explore books without physically having the book.
Google has some amazing application but Google Docs has to be one of my favourites. It really does mean access on any PC anywhere. Such a valuable collaborative tool!!
