Google Docs

Google Docs - Google Docs is a program that will allow you to create and edit word processing documents. This is nice for working on documents that are going to be worked on both at school and at home because they will already be available in both places. This is also helpful for students because not all students have access to Microsoft Word, and though you can do more with Microsoft Word, making the documents available to all students is really important. To create and use Google Docs, follow these steps.

1. Go to the website: http://drive.google.com. From here, click the red new button and choose Google Docs.

2. This should open a new tab that looks like this:

3. The basic layout of this should look familiar. It contains a blank document with a cursor that will allow you to add words to it.

4. The following picture is a zoomed in picture of the toolbar. Hopefully this answers many of your questions.
