Google Docs

Google Docs is an awesome resource for teachers in all grades! The software is totally free and can be accessed by any computer with Internet capabilities. Students and teachers can view each other's assignments and documents, so sharing ideas is easy. Google Docs offers "Document," similar to Microsoft Word, "Presentation," a version of PowerPoint, "Spreadsheet," just like Excel, as well as "Form," "Drawing," and "Collection."
Although it offers less features than the Microsoft Suite, Google Docs is a great addition to classroom technology because of its affordability (you can't get better than free!), ease of sharing and viewing, and its numerous document options.
Users will be pleasantly surprised at the variety of options this under-used program has. Changing font styles, adding images, and calculating complex numbers is simple with Google Docs. Additionally, work is saved automatically - no more lost hours of effort because you forgot to save!
As a future high-school English teacher, I will definitely be using Google Docs. Students won't have to purchase expensive programs or go the the library to complete their written homework. They will also be able to collaborate with each other because of the Sharing feature.
Google Docs is easy to access; users just go to the Google page and navigate to the Documents tab, or they can visit this direct link: https://docs.google.com
