Google Docs is an online word processing tool that helps you create and edit text-based documents for school, like essays, research papers, or notes. A word processing document is like a digital version of a notebook page where you can type, organize, and format your ideas.

It’s especially helpful for group projects because you can share the document with classmates and work on it together in real-time. Plus, since it’s saved online, you can access it from any device, and it automatically saves your progress as you type, so you never lose your work.
