Google Docs
After keyboarding and storage skills, I believe students need strong word processing knowledge. This means not only an understanding of the various commands (margins, spacing, text formatting, etc.), but also correct formatting of documents. Students will apply previous keyboarding and Google Drive skills to this instruction. Google Docs are used all throughout the grade levels at Glenburn School, and the ability to share them with others not only enables collaboration, but also allows teachers to give guidance in real time.
