How to use Google Docs

1. Sign up on docs.google.com with a user name that shows who you are, first name and last. We need to be able to identify each other on line. If you are not identifiable, you may not receive credit for assignments or essays here. Mine is **1hwlceriksson@gmail.com**. (I would recommend making up a new google email address for this purpose. It is free and easy and will streamline the whole process.) 2. You're pretty much done now!

To upload or add documents: 1. On your googledocs homepage, go to "upload" or "new." If you're uploading the page, hit "browse" and find it on your computer. Then hit "upload." If you're making a new document, hit "new" and go to "document" and begin typing. Make sure to name the documents by clicking on "Untitled" or the existing title. You can change the title at any time.

To share a document: 1. Go to "share" in the upper right-hand corner. Click on "share with others." Either type in the addresses or find them in your contacts.

To share with an entire class: 1. You can save a group of email addresses "as a group" at the bottom of your contacts page (which will pop up when you click on "choose from contacts"). I would save them as period 1, period 2, etc.
