Google Docs

My new favorite Google tool is Google Docs. You can use your Google account (which is the same as your pride account) to share Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. This means if you are working with a study group on an outline and you all want to contribute, you can put the outline on Google Docs. The edit functions work pretty much the same as Word and you can read and edit simultaneously.

If you log into your pride account, you should see Documents on the upper left of your screen. Otherwise, go to http://docs.google.com . Once you upload your document, you can share it with whomever you choose.

There are lots of other good uses - so if you have suggestions, post a comment - especially if your idea involves sharing your cans of tuna fish with your favorite virtual cat.
