Thing 7

This one's pretty easy for me. I already use Google Docs extensively. I've been using it to share documents with residents when we are working on a scholarly project. Currently I'm trying to figure out when to use a wiki and when to use this.

I have to write a book chapter soon. I'll need to decide what to use. I work to two different hospitals and a simulation center. The sim center has Office 2007, so does my home computer. Google docs does not support the new formatting. If I write my chapter on my home computer, I can only work on that computer. Maybe I'll divide up the work into stages and use a wiki initially, then use my home computer (word 2007) to finish it up.

Basically, if I need to collaborate, I'll either use a wiki or try my darndest to get the collaborators to use Google Docs. Technically, I think it's in Beta but I've never had trouble for the editing. However, sometimes the printing is a little weird.

Since I'm pretty facile with Google Docs, I only spent ~20 minutes on this one.
