I have created a video that explains how to share your documents and presentations in Google Docs. Documents and presentations can be shared with other people as viewers or as collaborators.
This is helpful to me if I want to work on something with a teaching colleague. You can also group kids together to work on a project as a group.
Watch my tutorial video about sharing documents in Google Docs.
Google docs allows you to create:
- word processing documents
- slide show presentations
- spreadsheets
- share documents with others
- allow others to view your documents
- allow others to collaborate with you
Google Docs is helpful for teachers who want to:
- collaborate on lessons and presentations with others
- have an electronic "in box" accessible wherever there is an Internet connection
- assign students to collaborative groups for project work
The sharing of Google Docs opens up a world of collaboration. Students don't have to meet at each other's houses to get work done. Teachers don't have to use jump drives to work on the same document. Once the document is shared, it is automatically updated when changes are made. You don't have to keep sharing and sending it over and over.
