Thing 20: Google Docs
July 28, 2009 by pmcewen
Glory be! I’ve tried to use Google Docs before and could never figure out how to share with someone so they could edit or even access it. Admittedly, I didn’t spend a huge amount of time doing this, but I’m happy to have the solution now.
One way I’ve used Google Docs before is to upload summer reading lists from school, download them at home, and convert them to PDF files to re-upload. My co-worker and I could also work on the lists in Google Docs without the worry of figuring out who has the most updated version. I envision using spreadsheets to plan bookfair staffing, school projects, and budgets. Creating all the paperwork necessary for first time SACS-SAIS accreditation would have been much easier in Google Docs.
