The Basics of Google Docs
Are you looking for collaborative ways to share and work on documents for your classroom? Google Docs are saved in the cloud, specifically, in Google Drive, and can be accessed from a phone, tablet, or computer with or without an Internet connection. Google Docs can be extended with third party add-ons.
One of the most powerful features of Google Docs and other Google applications is that multiple people can work on the same document at the same time. This is a huge plus for education. It is possible to share documents with anyone for viewing or editing. During this learning opportunity, you will learn:
