No - Continue to make electronic comments using Track Changes in Word or marking right on the hard copies. Make no changes in the way that you are working.
 * Does this Google Docs thing bear on how I comment on the papers I'm reading? Can I still keep going on my paper copies?**

Initial comments are wherever you have made them - on paper, in Word. Google Docs will be used for the second round of writing.
 * Am I supposed to be making my initial comments on Google Docs, or is that more for the revision?**


 * I have already marked half of my papers using track changes in Word. May I now upload these files to Google Docs?**

I would wait and let the student upload the file because then they will be the owner of the file, not you, and we can more easily track who has finished his or her submission. I also do not know if the changes and comments will arrive in the doc as comments or as text. We should let the student originate the upload.


 * Do we need to make sure that ALL of the students have their original papers uploaded to Moodle - the other 42 kids who didn't upload in the first go-around? Some of my papers came to me in printed form, and I'm not certain that those students also made sure to upload it onto Moodle.**

American Lit teachers need to make sure that students know they need their electronic document to work in class on Monday.


 * I wonder about security - I've made some comments on some papers that I really don't want anyone but the student to read. Will all students be able to read all documents?**

The only people who can read a document are those people invited to share. So, the American Lit teacher, the CommConn teacher, the student, and me. If you have a student with a paper that needs more provacy, suggest that they wait to share with others (not you or the Am Lit teacher) until it's ready to go public.
