Parents:
===I am encouraging you to create a account for your child. Included with a Google Drive  account is a set of tools called Google Documents (or Google Docs). I feel there are numerous benefits from doing this: ===

1. It sets up an email account for your child to which you have access.
=== 2. Google Documents allows your student to create items similar to Microsoft tools like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. But since these items are saved online, students can access them anywhere they have internet access. This means no more computer based projects being stuck on the computers at school because your student didn’t have a flash drive at school. === === 3. Any time a change is made to a Google document(Word), slideshow(PowerPoint), or spreadsheet(Excel) the changes are saved automatically. Never again will a student work for an hour and lose the work because of a failure to hit save. === === 4. Through its ‘share’ feature students can work on the same project at the same time without having to be in the same location. This can mean no more trying to arrange for kids to go to a friend’s house to work on a report or PowerPoint. They both simply open the Google item and work on it together through the internet. === === 5. Turning in assignments can be easier as well. Rather than burning to a CD or copying to a flash drive, students would just use the share function. Type in the address of the teacher you want to share the assignment with and Google sends an email with the assignment already attached. ===
