Google+Tour

** Google Boot Camp **
Google is so much more than a search engine. In fact, Google is a free tool that can help you eliminate the need for emailing documents to yourself, flash drives (in many cases), and wondering if files will be compatible between home and school.

Each of the numbered links below will take you to a "how to" page which walks you through using different parts of Google. Your task is to complete all of the "Google Boot Camp" activities. Before you begin, you need a Google Account. If you did not set up a Gmail account, now is the time. Click here to get started. If you have a Gmail account, continue on.

// **Helpful tip** //: Keeping the directions handy is helpful. If on a Mac, press the Apple (Command) key when you click on any link and open the link in a new tab. If on a PC, press the CTRL key and click to do the same thing.

Step 1: Log in (quickly) to your gmail account Step 2: Click on "Documents"
