Google Docs Part 1

This week and last meeting, I covered a basic introduction to Google Docs.  Google Docs is very similar to the Microsoft Office suite, but it's available anywhere you have internet access (like email).  It is also FREE!  You don't have to purchase it to have it on your computer.  Gone are the days when you have to email documents to yourself if you've worked on them at home or carry a flash drive around.

To get started, go to the Earlham Google Docs page and log in using your  username and password.  Click on DOCS instead of email.

When you get in Google Docs, you can create a document (like a basic Word doc), a presentation (PowerPoint) or spreadsheet (Excel).  Click on "Create New" and it will give you the options.

*A form is something you can use to create a survey like I made previously on the Tech Tuesday blog.  If you want to learn more about a form, that can be another Tech Tuesday topic.
