Google+Docs+&+Forms

=Google Docs & Forms=

Google Docs is a free online collaboration tool. It features documents types such as: word processing, presenations, and forms.

Google Docs is a good tool because it allows students to work collaboratively and live. It also frees up the problem of having to buy the Microsoft Office package (or related word processing packages) for your home computer.

Some students may have trouble with pen and paper tests, but could excel with computer tests.
