Tools for the classroom. Google Docs.



It is true that Google is taking over everything, they are perfecting everything in the most simple way to make everything easier to access and share, and that is surely not restricting people in any way. It is an easy-to-use online word processor, spreadsheet and presentation editor that enables you and your students to create, store and share instantly and securely, and collaborate online in real time. You can create new documents from scratch or upload existing documents, spreadsheets and presentations. There's no software to download and. It’s absolutely free!


With Google Docs you can: 1) Access your documents online from any computer with an internet connection. 2) Add collaborators to your document and Docs will send them a link to access the doc online (no need to send email attachments back and forth). 3) Decide who can view and edit each document (only you, some people, or everyone).
