Google Docs
What is Google Docs?
Google Docs is a free Web-based word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application offered by Google.
What does Google Docs do?
Google Docs allows you to create, upload and edit documents such as Word documents, spreadsheets, or presentations which you save in an online account. You can invite other users to collaborate on your documents in one central location, rather than having to constantly exchange unwieldy email attachments. Also, you can tag and archive your documents for organizational purposes.
Google Docs also allows you to create forms that can be emailed or embedded in a website such as ELMS. Responses to the forms will be collected in a Google Docs spreadsheet.
