Using Google Docs

Today in my EDTF200 class (Instructional Media) we learned how to use Google Docs.  The professor explained that Google Docs, in essence, works the same way that Microsoft Word or Microsoft Works would.  The only difference is that Google Docs is web-based, which means it is free to use.  Anyone that has a gmail account can log on to Google Docs and type up a paper the same way you would if you were using Word.  Google Docs has an area already designated to save all of your work and this makes it possible to access your documents on any computer anywhere in the world.  With Google Docs you can also collaborate on one document with other people.  Using Google Docs to collaborate eliminates multiple copies of a document.  It attaches email addresses to a document as opposed to attaching documents to an email address.  Click Here to view a video that we watched in class that helps better explain what Google Docs is and how it works.  After watching the video I really understood all the perks to using Google Docs.  I am still trying to figure out how to use it, but it is getting easier as I go along.  I will definitely be using Google Docs in the future.  Google Docs ROCKS!
