3. Google docs is an easy-to-use online
word processor, spreadsheet and presentation editor
that enables you to create, store and share instantly and securely,
and collaborate* online in real time.
You can create new documents from scratch or upload existing
documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
There's no software to download, and all your work is stored safely
online and can be accessed from any computer.
* to collaborate means to work together

Word, Power Point and Excel.

internet access. You can work on them at home and at school.

and other students.

you use at school to log into the Windows network.
8. The first time you log in you will have to
