same as the page where you
signed in, EXCEPT now you see
your name in the upper right
hand corner.
• Click on the 3x3 square array to
open the Google menu of tools
• Click on “Drive”

5. Your Google Drive
• You should have one document
on your Google Drive: “How to
get started with Drive”. You may
wish to review this at some
point.
• To start a new document click
“New” and select “Google Docs”
• You will be brought to the
Google Docs editor

6. Give your document a title and start writing!
• As you write, Google will automatically save your work
• By default it will use the first few words of your document as a title –
but, if you click on the title (above the editing menu), you will be able
to change it.
