What is it?
Why should I use it?
How do I use it?
Use the arrows or click anywhere on the slides to go to the next slide.
Google docs is an easy-to-use online word processor, spreadsheet and presentation editor
that enables you 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 all your work is stored safely online and can be accessed from any computer.
* to collaborate means to work together
It's free! You don't have to buy expensive software like Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel.
You can create and edit your documents from any computer with internet access. You can work on them at home and at school.
You can share your documents and presentations with teachers and other students.
Your student account has already been set up on Google docs.

It's similar to Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel.
