I can see students collaboarting and peer editing, as well as working on group projects without having to go through the extra step of a terminal server or using email. It's like an electronic diary that everyone has the keys to, so they can add their own thoughts. As for teachers, well, I think if they are used to managing their whole set of folders and personal desktop from home via terminal server, they aren't going to want to give that up; however, if they do not know any better, maybe it's a good way to go. It can certainly save a school the budget of investing into a terminal server, not to mention the time in managing of it on a regular basis. I think the possibilities of Google Docs is awesome.

Do you think teachers will "buy" into using Google Docs rather than logging onto the terminal server? Could docs eliminate frustrations or would it create more?
