Google Drive

Now that you've created a Google account, I bet you're ready to see what else Google has to offer (and for FREE!  That's always the best part).  For all of those presentations, documents, and spreadsheets, why not use a tool that allows you to create them, access them from anywhere you have internet access, and share them with others.  (Oh, and did I mention it's FREE!!)  When you come across free resources as great as this, don't pass them up!

Google Drive is the tool where you can create these documents.  After you've created a Google account, you can access Google Drive by clicking on the icon that looks like a tic-tac-toe board at the top right corner of Google's home page (once you are logged in), and then clicking on "Drive".  From here, you can create new documents, spreadsheets, etc.

You might use these documents to collaborate with coworkers, create a signup sheet through Google  spreadsheet, or create a presentation to use in your classroom.  You also might use Google Form to create an online survey/questionnaire.  Below are some helpful tutorials to get you started:
