First Up: Google Docs
The first Google App that Butler is promoting is Google Docs.
Google Docs is a suite of tools that allows you to create different
kinds of documents, work on them simultaneously with other people,
and access them from anywhere you have a computer and an Internet
connection. Google Docs does not replace Microsoft Office (Word,
Excel, etc.) on campus, but serves as a complimentary toolset for
document collaboration. Here is an overview of Google Docs.
