Google Docs

Have a project but need cooperation of your group mates who are far away? Then worry no more! Google has created Google Docs for you!

Google Docs is a free online program that allows users to create documents, spreadsheets and presentations and save them online to share it with other people.

With this program, you can edit your files anywhere and anytime you want, get quick feedback from multiple people --- simultaneously and asynchronously , make full writing process visible --- including revisions, quickly analyze and organize data, share data sets, publish documents for invitation viewing and editing, and upload/download documents in various file formats.

However, before you can this time-saver tool, you must have an account on Google. If you already have one through Gmail, then you can use the same username and password for Google Docs.

Now, onto the steps of creating and working a new document:

1.       Click the “Create” button and choose what kind of file you want to make.
2.       Google Docs will open a new window. This will allow you to type anything you want.
3.       Once done, click the “Share” button. You can choose whether to make it a private share, anyone with link or public by clicking the Change on the right side. If you have chosen, go down and add people who you can give permission to edit your file.
4.       Hit the “Done” button and obviously you’re done!

For uploading, here are the steps:

1.       Click the “Upload” button.

2.       Choose File or Folder to choose the location of the file.
3.       A pop-up box will show notifying on how you will set up your preferences.
4.       Click “Start Upload” button.
5.       Wait for the uploading bar to finish and voila! You’re done!
Overall, it was just like using Microsoft Word, only it was online and anyone can edit the files the same time as you.
