Google Docs - Innovation for... EVERYTHING!

Surveys, shared documents, coordinating schedules... hmmm food for thought. Better than that - food for Google Docs. Now becoming part of Google Drive, Google Docs' uses are only just beginning to "rev its engines"

Now instead of sending an e-mail, waiting for responses, retyping, then organizing all the feedback - ONE document do ALL that. Set up a questionnaire in Google Docs and everyone gets to respond within that one document.

Schools are using Google Docs to facilitate collaboration with students. Many students can work simultaneously on one document, each with their own color text.


Teachers can see who did what as well. Now more "hiding" within a group project letting others do the lion's share of the work.

It can also allow a student and teacher to nurture a document from conception to final revisions. With no worries about differing software, work can be done from any computer.

AND gone are the days of "disappearing homework". Online - its there!!!

Collaborating and sharing schedules is also a snap when ONE schedule is shared with everyone! These can be accessed on mobile devices as well. The video below has a plethora of information about how to use Google Calendars in a work environment.
