Instructions for submitting assignments using Google Docs

 

Once you have established a Google e-mail account you have access to a number of utilities.  Google Docs allows you to either upload a paper to your Google account or compose it online.  Google automatically saves your paper and it allows you to share it with anyone else who has a Google account.

Alternatively, at step 3 you may upload a document by clicking on Upload.  If you do this be sure to re-title your essay according to step 4 and follow the rest of the steps.

 

When you complete step 10, I will have a copy of the essay in my Google account.  I will grade it online and you will receive an e-mail in your Google account when I am finished.

 

Presentations

 

To submit a presentation follow the steps above, but click on New >>Presentation instead of New >>Document in step 3.

 

 

Important:  Google records the revision history of your work.  If you revise the paper after you have submitted it, but before I have graded it, your submission date will be the date of your last revision.
