Google has finally heard the cries from all those frustrated iPad schools---Now they have introduced Google Drive (was Google Docs) as an app for the iPad! According to this blog entry you can import photos and videos from your iPad into the Google documents! Don't forget you also have access to the Spreadsheets, Forms, Presentations, and folders. It sounds like you still can't create these forms on the iPad, but you can edit, organize, collaborate, and share documents from here! I am sure the rest isn't far behind--at some point we will be able to create from here as well!
From blog above:
"The best update to arrive in version in Google Drive version 1.1.0 is the editing option. Users can edit much easier and with a cleaner interface. Plus, the editing and collaboration features are much faster through the Google Drive App. Users can also see who is editing on the doc at the same time. In addition, docs can now be accessed offline as well. Users can edit a doc offline and once it hits a wi-fi connection, the doc will sync with Google Drive and save in the cloud. This feature will happen automatically or via the refresh button in the upper-right hand corner of the home screen of the app."
Good luck with this new app! Like I said before--don't give up on Google Docs....
