Google Docs, you’ve probably heard of it, right? A free word processor that was introduced in 2006 (!) that includes nearly all the capabilities of a traditional word processor like Microsoft Word. But did you know that Google Docs is much more than just a tool used as a word processor? In this course you’ll learn how students can use Google Docs to better communicate, critically think, collaborate and create.
