What it is....

A free online office suite similar in nature to Microsoft Office.

Include a word processor, spreadsheet, and a presentation tool.


How it's different....

There are no programs to purchase or install.

Instead of saving a file on your computer, you save files "in the cloud." This way you can access that file anywhere you are able to connect to the Internet.

Rather than attaching a document to an email and sharing it; imagine attaching email addresses to a document!

Google Docs is built for collaboration. You can share any document with anyone that you choose.

Collaboration happens in real time!!!


Where it can be found....
