Google Docs

Google Docs is a web-based version of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. With Google docs, my students can create documents and then share them with whomever they please. By sharing their documents allows others (peers and myself) to edit if necessary.

Google documents:

Upload and convert Word documents
Format their documents
Invite others by email to share their documents
Edit documents online with others
Publish documents online to the world
Download documents to their desktop
Email their documents out as attachments.

Google Spreadsheets:

Import .xls, .csv, .txt and .ods formatted data
Export .xls, .csv, .txt and .ods formatted data and PDF and HTML files
Use formatting and formula editing so my students can calculate
Chat live with others who are editing their spreadsheet.

Google Presentations:

Share and edit presentations with anyone
Import and convert existing presentations
Download their presentations
Edit their presentations
Insert images and videos, and format their slides
Allow live viewing of presentations
