Three levels of sharing - view, comment, edit.
Notify by e-mail.

Alternative for managing the chaos with large numbers of participants -  insert a table into the document. Find your own row and add your own information. Give them a specific space to write in.

Next Steps in my classroom:
Organise my documents into folders and colour co-ordinate them.
Use the Google Docs training session for myself and give the kids access.
