Google+Docs

Google Apps and presentations are a great way to collaborate with others to get something done in a timely fashion. Below are links and information on how to get started using Google Apps. Google Apps allow you to store, share, collaborate and publish on the web, and they auto save every few seconds so work is never lost. **Within an education domain users do not need email accounts to engage in collaboration.** Just start typing the name of another student or teacher you want to collaborate with in the share box and you are ready to go! Google Apps include:

** Google Presentations ** for Online slide shows (like PowerPoint) You can also present your slide shows Online and allow your viewers to join in a chat as they follow your slide show. ** Google Spreadsheets ** will perform mathematical functions, graph your data and allow you to collect data via an Online form. ** Google Forms ** are survey tools that can be used to collect data into spreadsheets, create quizes, book reviews, etc. ** Google Drawings ** can be used by students to create graphics, timelines, concept maps, etc. These can be placed within other Google Apps. ** Google Sites ** are websites that can be edited collaboratively and used to showcase student products. ** Google Maps ** are maps that can be modified with placemarks and overlays. Google maps allows for realtime collaboration. Our domain account will also include the **Aviary** suite of tools to let you create and store photo-editing and video-editing projects online.
 * Google Documents ** for Online word processing
