I chose to review .docstoc under the education category.
I found the website to be a bit cumbersome for the purpose of finding documents. It does not have an advanced search function to narrow down the search criteria. You can search all of the documents for a word or phrase, or you can select a category such as education or science, and then search for a term or phrase within that category. However, I think it would be a great place to upload your documents for the purpose of linking them to your blog or website. .docstoc has a feature called DocShot. DocShot essentially allows you to create a link in your blog or website to a document that is hosted by .docstoc. When the visitor to your blog or website clicks on the link, they can immediately preview the document without leaving your site. The document is pulled from .docstoc. Using DocShot helps prevent visitor system crashes and long wait times to download files.
If you used a blog as part of your teaching strategy, I think .docstoc would be a useful tool for incorporating documents into your blog.
