So if you want to share MANY documents with students, all at once, just load all the docs into a folder in google docs and share the entire folder.  Here is how you do this:

Google Account & Google Documents

Sign up for a Google account.  This is a no-brainer.  Google offers a variety of powerful tools, from e-mail, document creation, internet searching, and web hosting.  You will need a Google account to take advantage of many of the features I show you today.

Google documents is a great resource for creating and sharing documents online.  Google Docs is not as powerful as MS Office or OpenOffice, and the formatting can be tricky if you plan to print the documents, but it's free and hosted online.  You can also host your MS or OO files on Google Docs without changing the format.

Once you host a document online, you can make a link to the document that anyone can click on.  This is powerful because YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EXTRA COPIES FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE ABSENT OR LOST THEIR WORK.  Just tell them to go to the library, find the document they need, and print it out!  Here is an example:  Blue Planet Video Notes
