Student Collaboration Using Google Drive

Hello and welcome back to the new semester!

Did you know you can sign into Google Drive using your Whitewater Net-ID and password? You also get unlimited storage space! Your files in Drive can be reached from any smartphone, tablet, or computer. As a college student many of us have to present projects with a group. Google Drive lets you share a document with your group members so you can work on a project at the same time, and in different locations. Projects are also saved automatically, so don’t worry if you close a page on accident, it will have already been saved!

Google Docs is a great way to collaborate with team members when working on notes, or papers. https://www.google.com/docs/about/

Google Slides lets your ideas shine with a variety of presentation themes, hundred of fonts, embedded video, animations and more. https://www.google.com/slides/about/

Google Sheets lets you choose from a wide variety of budgets, schedules, and other pre-made spreadsheets. https://www.google.com/sheets/about/

Google Forms lets you run a survey or quickly create a team roster with a simple online form. Then check out the results, neatly organized in a spreadsheet. https://www.google.com/forms/about/
