Google Documents

Working on computers today is very different than it was five years ago. Many more computers have Internet access and people work on more than one computer. One way to store and edit work on any computer with Internet access is Google Documents. Google Docs is a lot like Microsoft Office, but it lives on the Internet. You don't need any special software or programs, just a functional web browser like Firefox. With Google Docs you can create documents, spread sheets, and even basic presentations. Also with Google Docs you can do more than save files online, but you can share them with other users, publish them online or right to your blog. It's a very powerful, easy to use tool that may become a venue for your senior portfolio.

Today we are going to explore how to upload or create our first Google Document and share the results with me and your feedback partner. Watch the demo on the screen on how to create a Google Document, how to upload a Microsoft Word file, and how to share a finished document with me and your feedback partner.

When you are finished with your project worksheet, you will make it a Google Document and share it with me at mr.powhida@gmail.com

If I could ask the next president one question on live TV during the debate I would ask him what steps did you take to get to this point in your life?
