Bone 19: Google Docs

I found this bone very user friendly and handy. My department uses Google Docs for surveys, but I had never explored it until now. I will be adding Google Docs to my options when creating letters, forms, and presentations from now on as it is really great.

Did you notice that you can save in Word format, or as a PDF file? Yes, and I appreciate having choices. I usually use Microsoft word, which has easier access to clipart, photos, etc., but I still liked Google Docs.

Now try doing the same with a presentation: I usually use PowerPoint, which offers more animatation and transition options, but I still liked Google Docs--it just more straight forward. This would be a good option for students who don't need to be offered all the bells & whistles.

spreadsheet: I usually use Excel Spread, which I find easier to use than Google Docs. This is the one Google Docs application I will not use unless in a pinch.

and form: I have created my own multiple choice tests before and wish I could have used this application. Google Docs forms is a wonderful think and can appreciate why my department uses it. It Rocks! And I will use in the future.

How do they differ from the programs you generally use? I like how all these applications are grouped together in one spot and you can control the management/filing of documents created. The programs are a little like the economy version of a car, not the luxury model--but they are very workable and the more I use them, the more I will achieve with them. I really liked this Thing!

Can you believe that you have already done 19 of the 23 things? NO!
