Using Google Docs in the Classroom

Students: Welcome to Google Docs!

We are using “Google Documents” for word processing this year, so that we can work on our writing any time we’re on the Internet!  Here are steps to follow to manage your work:

• Log in
  • Write down your username and password in your writer’s notebook or folder (msabodeelyclass@gmail.com, or caputosclass@gmail.com)
• Make a New Folder to save your work with your first name on it
  • File/New Folder
• Start a New Document
  • File/New Document
• When you are finished typing:
  1. Click File/Save
  2. Close your Document
  3. Drag that document into the Folder with your name on it

Teacher Tips

• Save a Word or Text document on your favorite computer with all of your usernames and passwords
• Create your own Google Account (by starting a Gmail email account, or using your existing email account)
• Email the email addresses you use to create your accounts to Rhys, and he’ll add the same username and password for your class blog accounts at ps124brooklyn.com
