 * Be aware:**
 * Works best with Google Chrome. Other browsers (Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox) don't fully support Google Docs. || ===Some Advantages of Google Docs===
 * **They promote collaboration**: Multiple users can edit a doc simultaneously. It is housed online so can be accessed from any computer with Internet access.
 * **They are automatically saved**: When you store your information on Google Docs, there is no need to worry about emailing yourself a file, losing your flash drive, or forgetting to save the most recent draft.
 * **You can see every revision that's been made**: Not only does Google save your file online, it saves every version of it. If you make a mistake, you can roll back to a previous version. As a teacher, you can scroll the history of revisions and see how a student's draft progressed over time.
 * **Google Forms simplifies the data collection process:** Teachers can create a Google Form that will allow students to enter in information. The form will then save all of this information to a spreadsheet. You can create assessments and collect student information without having to go through papers.
