What is Google Docs?
Google Docs is a free online word processor, spreadsheet, and
presentation editor that allows you to create, store, share, and
collaborate on documents with others. If you know how to use other word
processors, spreadsheets, and presentation programs, you can easily use
Google Docs.
Instead of emailing files back and forth between collaborators, Google Docs allows people to work on a single version of a document together online. The chat feature on presentations makes it possible to create a “permeable classroom” by bringing experts into a lesson to interact with students online. You can also create web-based surveys to collect information from students, teachers, or parents. An Intro to Docs: Activity: Let's "Iron Chef" A Lesson:
