Working with Google Docs
1. Go to GoogleDocs
Go to this page: http://docs.google.com/
You will need to log in on the right side with your gmail address and
password.
Alternatively, if you are already in gmail, look along the top left edge of
this long page. You should see some small blue links above the GMAIL logo that
say:
Gmail Calendar Documents Photos Reader ... »
Click on Documents. That will take you to the same place as above.
Once in Documents, you will see the list of all homework and exams that you
have submitted to us. Our office will tag each essay as GRADED or pending, depending on it status. |
We've created a special video that walks you through this process. |
|
2b. Create a New Document
 |
Just under the GOOGLE logo (top left corner of the page), you will see another
row of links: One for creating a New Document, the next for Uploading/emailing a document from your hard drive. |
 |
 |
Click on New, then Document.
A new window will pop up with simplified word processing features.
The first thing to write at the top of the page is the filename of the assignment or exam that you're working on.
When you save the document, the first line of your doc will become the filename. |
Google will also save periodically, in case you forget.
2b. ... or Upload your files
 |
Uploading your Files
If you click on Upload, you will go to a
page that let's you find (Browse...) your document on your hard drive, then
choose it [Upload File] to Google.
Once your document is on GoogleDocs, you can edit it in any way just like in a
regular word processor.
Alternatively, you have been assigned a unique email address that you can use
to submit your documents as attachments.
You'll find this email address
directly below the UPLOAD section. |
3. Share your document
To share it, look in the upper right corner for a blue Share tab. Click on
that tab.
This will take you to a window where you can identify who you'd like to share
your essay with.
 |
Add this email address:
office@EmersonsBarReview.com
Then click [Invite Collaborators]. |
This will take you to a box that let's you choose if you want to send an
announcement to us or not.
 |
Click on [skip sending] because we'll see it either way. |
 |
You'll see us (Judi C.) on the right side,
listed as a collaborator. |
4. Close the document
Along the right near the top, there's a button for Close Document. Click on
that. You should be back at your list of documents. Add more essays, or exit
as you wish.
