Google Docs is awesome! It completely solves the "my dog ate my jumpdrive" issue, seriously, she did. I have used Google Docs for some things in the past, in fact, before we even got to Thing 10, I used a google doc to save my usernames and passwords!
I use this tool currently personally and professionally. Personally I have used it to create spreadsheets that have helped friends and I plan for a trip. Professionally, a group and I have access to an agenda we can all add items to.
I have had problems with compatibility before. I have used the presentation before but have had issues when I opened it up in PowerPoint.
I see many many uses for Google Docs in the classroom, especially on group projects. I see more immediate use for this tool than some others.

Sometimes somethings are lost in "translation" going either to or from a PowerPoint presentation. But how great that schools wouldn't have to buy Microsoft Office. They could use Google Docs for free, and students would be able to access their documents from any internet capable computer (and no more lost papers).
