I made two YouTube videos using screen-o-matic on how to use GoogleDocs.

Dropbox
You cannot use Dropbox to write files, but it is an excellent back-up and storage area. Almost every time I create an important document, I add it to Dropbox to preserve it.

The Machine is Us/ing Us
I found this YouTube video about Web 2.0. I thought it was interesting enough to share. It's a few years old, but I think it's well done and informative. - Amy

Writeboard


Writeboard is a free software that allows invited users to share text-based documents with others so that editing can be done by anyone in the group. You can always go back and see what each person has changed as the editing progresses. It is password protected. I learned of the software through a friend who likes it very much. Here is a [|SlideShare] tutorial for using Writeboard. (Luisa)

Links to Online Document Programs
ArmoredPenguin - Excellent program that helps you make crossword puzzles and post them online.

Scribd - Online file-management software similar to Dropbox. But, as Dr. Sponder says-the more options, the better.

Zamzar - Excellent for converting files. Let's say a student sent you a document, and you cannot open it. Try here.

Zoho - Mostly for business. Has programs for creating reports, wikis, and a similar calendar program to iCal.
