Tech Tip Tuesday #3

This week is all about Google Docs. They are awesome! In fact, last week was the first time I needed to use Microsoft Word in over a year. 

Perks to Google Docs:

- Easily accessible from any device, anywhere

- Easily share your Docs and collaborate with others

- Auto-save, losing work is nearly impossible

- Revision history, easily see your changes or changes made by collaborators

- It's free! (This is the reason I switched to Google Docs for my personal life too, I didn't want to pay for Microsoft Word on my new laptop when there was a great free option available.)

Google Docs for Beginners:

See the attached GoogleDocsCheatSheet.pdf from Shake Up Learning.

Consider sharing this resource with your students. It is a couple of years old so it's missing newer features like columns, but it's still really good information.

If you're already comfortable with Google Docs:

Tips #2, 5, 17, 28, 29, and 42 would be great to share with students.

I didn't know about #18 until today, absolutely share this one with students. I also just learned Tip #10 this summer and it has changed how I collaborate.
