Experiences with tools-Google Docs

In my role I am responsible for the coordination of our accreditation. The accreditation process requires each of our eight centers to write a self-analytical report. I have created a series of compliance teams to collaborative write the reports. I introduced Google Docs as the tool of choice to use for this task.

The only problem is that I must now convince our IT people that this is a worthwhile tool. All personal email is blocked on our staff computers, which is incredibly irritating. We are treated like children who will be irresponsibly playing online-sorry, small bit of venting there.

I see this as an opportunity to educate our IT folks about what we do and where we are heading with technology. However, it's a stumbling block that I hadn't anticipated.
