Taylor ISD DuckLink #29
empowering student success and school improvement
October 1, 2014
Google: Not Just a Search Engine!
- Google Drive- In the coming weeks we will have unlimited storage in Google Drive. You no longer need your H: drive for backing up files. As an added bonus you can gain access to these files and edit them on any computer and mobile device including smartphones. Learn more
- Google Docs- This application is similar to Word but makes it convenient to share and collaborate with others in realtime. You can also see a revision history. The best part is that you no longer need to attach files in emails but simply share them with others.
