Cross-posted from the Docs Blog Shep McAllister is a rising senior at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, and editor of the popular student blog HackCollege . For the past several years, he has done his college coursework exclusively on Google Docs, and today he shares his five favorite uses for the platform in the classroom. 1. Work together on group projects discussions feature released earlier this year made collaboration even simpler.2. Take notes collaboratively HackCollege .3. Convert PDFs and handouts to searchable text with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) OCR capabilities , I’m able to upload a low-quality PDF and receive an editable text document in return. This also works well for any important handouts professors give out in class - I just scan the handout and upload to Google Docs, keeping all of my class material in one place.4. Save major assignments in the cloud 5. Collect information from a group with forms forms to send to my friends and classmates. My friends have gotten involved too, using it for keeping track of club participation, voting on housing for their fraternity’s beach weekend, and even conducting surveys for major research projects.Posted by Shep McAllister, HackCollege.com Blogger & Trinity University Student

The live notes part sounds awesome!
Thanks for sharing it, gotta try sometime :)
really appreciate you for posting such useful post here. but i have some doubt about this topic. The information on the Google docs spreadsheets is usually names, birth dates, locations, universities, acceptance statuses, and levels of degree. and my doubt is If Google Docs is too risky, are there any other more secure options? pls reply me..
