Class Description

This session will be recorded. You must have an account and be logged in when you click “Zoom Link,” “Remind Me,” or “Join Now” to receive the recording. It will be added to your dashboard within 24 hours after the session ends.

 

Whatever your word processing needs, Google Docs can help! Google Docs is a free alternative to Microsoft Word. In this demonstration we’ll show you how to use grammar and spellcheck, download your documents in Word and PDF format, use Docs to collaborate with others, and more! You’ll also receive a step-by-step handout so that you can practice using Google Docs on your own after the session. Please note that this session is not hands-on and will not go over how to sign up for a Google account.
