23 Things Assignment #6

Google Docs

Advantages: Remotely access your document anywhere without having to worry about discs, CDs, or memory sticks.

Disadvantages: You dont have all of the features and options available in the "real" Microsoft software.

I was excited about being able to share PP presentations this way, because the files are so big it is difficult to save, open, & close them on the TPL shared drives. I have to have my PPs on a memory stick. But, I was not impressed by the very limited PPs you are able to create on Google Docs. Very little flexibility for slide designs, no custom animations, slide transitions, etc. But for basic word or excel docs, its not bad.
