Thing 16 Google Docs

I use Google Docs frequently and suggest and teach it as a solution for group projects for my students. (This is how I found out they don't use e-mail, but communicate via Facebook,etc.) Creating an e-mail account is not a problem in our district, thank goodness. I don't have much occasion to use spreadsheets and didn't see the normal "save" button that you see when using a word document. I located "save" under file. I see there's an auto save on this page. I don't know how to set this up. Is it available all the time?

Even if our students had personal files (which I've been begging for for years), Google Docs would still be necessary to do group work. the next step might be a wiki which I have not yet attempted with students.
