Am I correct in that the native language program is available in any language? If so, this would be so beneficial to all esl/lep students. This would really give them an edge right off.
The Google Docs might be a program that the kids would be tempted to use outside of the assignment - i.e. instant message? Not too good at school.But the ease in sharing ideas and tools would be a real advantage.
Openoffice/suite is free and that alone would be an advantage for the students who otherwise couldn't afford to purchase a similiar program. The powerpoints, spreadsheets are all something that the students could use and share.

And if we can all keep in mind that these free products are available for students who do not have Microsoft Office, we will remove some of the stress when projects are do!
Julie, I downloaded Open Office, and I liked it almost as well as Microsoft Office, and I liked the price (free) a whole lot more.
