Exercise #4
Google Docs
What is Google docs?? Many of you have been asking this and some of you have already had file shared with you through Google Docs.
Simply put...Google Docs is a place 'in the cloud' to store, share, and modify documents.
The document type can vary from a spreadsheet (much like an Excel document) to a text-based file (much like a Word document).
It is a way for many people to make changes to a document and also to share it with a group of people rather than emailing to each person. It also ensures that everyone is looking at and working with the most recent version of a document. Changes can be made and saved in real time so that another person viewing the document sees those changes.

Exercise #2: Cut, copy, paste
A very helpful tool to learn for basic computing is "copy, cut, and paste".
This is just what it sounds like: you can copy text, or cut it out, and paste it somewhere else!
Think about how you would do this with actual scissors and glue and now imagine that you can virtually do it on a computer.
The following tutorial shows how this is done in Microsoft Word:
