Using Google Docs to Collaborate

In the past, working on a team project often meant meeting and working on Word document or Excel sheet together. Team projects have been made much easier by online tools like Google Docs and Sheets. With Google Docs, any member of a project team can view or edit the files from anywhere at anytime. You can also see the history of changes to a document to see who is adding what. This can save everyone time and let members work on the project when they have time available.

Video Meetings

Whether working on a project or just working on homework, it is helpful to be able to work with other classmates face to face.
