Google+Docs

Create and Store Your Documents Online!
[|Google Docs] (and similar services like the [|Zoho application suite], [|Adobe Buzzword], [|Solodex], [|WriteBoard], and [|others]) allow users to create, compose, and save word processing documents online.

Are Online Services Better Than Word?
It's not a question of "better or worse". Each option has its own strengths and weaknesses, and should be approached accordingly. Some of the key benefits of online office suites are:
 * documents are accessible and editable from any computer with Internet access
 * documents not locked into one proprietary format = greater access
 * collaboration - documents can be edited by multiple users and edited simultaneously (Google Docs even has a chat function for real-time discussion of the project at hand)
 * maintain an easily accessible archive/portfolio of all work (including prior drafts and assigned authorship)

Your Task

 * 1) Have at least one person in your group create an account with Google (you can use an existing Google/Gmail account) or one of the above services.
 * 2) Upload an existing document or create a new one.
 * 3) Invite group members to collaborate and edit the document together online. Explore the benefits and limitations of your service and be prepared to report out.
 * 4) Every individual in the group should respond to the invitation in your HCRHS email and contribute at least one slide.
