Over the past year (even before Coe's Google conversion) I started using Google Docs and Calendar for on-campus projects. I originally used Calendar because it was easier to add and edit events while it also allowed me to share it with others. This came in handy because the Student Activities Committee (SAC) has at least one, if not two or three, events each week. The students and I were able to post all the information for the event (performer's hotel info, phone number, location, etc.) in one central place where the entire group could access and edit.
Now, with the ability to attach Google Documents to events, we can sign contracts electronically and attach them to the events without ever having to print out a piece of paper. It also saves on time too. It's great to have all that you need in one document that is attached to one event on a calendar that everyone can see and edit.
Our latest foray into Google Docs has involved creating forms. The form feature is great because it has an easy to use interface that allows us to develop online forms (mostly for feedback purposes in our case) in a quick manner. The best part is that all of the information gets dumped into a spreadsheet that we can all manipulate!
Overall, the integration of the different Google Apps is killer for what I do on a daily basis.
