Google Docs is a free, web-based word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software that allows multiple users to simultaneously edit and collaborate on documents from any internet-connected device. It offers advantages over traditional office software like Microsoft Office by allowing easy sharing of documents, simultaneous editing, and access from anywhere without installation. Teachers can use Google Docs for sharing materials with other teachers, creating class assignments and assessments, and giving feedback to students.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Google Docs applications are more basic. Toolbars and button functions are similar and familiar
- #5: Show different invitation options Demonstrate different email accounts
- #10: Show different invitation options Demonstrate different email accounts While there is a limit to simultaneous editing, people can still view the document.
- #13: Adding comments directly into the document your students are working on is a much more immediate feedback mechanism than submitting work and returning it. The Revision History is a great feature that allows you to see who made certain changes, what they were, and when they were made. Great for grading or evaluation quality and quantity of contributions in a group project.
