Google+Documents

Google Apps includes programs such as Documents, Forms & Spreadsheets, Presentations, and Drawings. These are all free, with a user account; TTSD provides all students and teachers __#|access__ to Google Apps. I will openly admit I'm a big fan of Google Docs. Although they are not as powerful as the Microsoft and Apple counterparts every file is saved to Google's serves, aka "The Cloud." Essentially what this means is everything you create is saved to a Google server that can be accessed anywhere you have an internet connection. Additionally Google Docs are extremely conducive to collaboration and sharing, thus great for education.

**How to Publish a Google Document/Presentation on a Website, Blog, or Wiki:**
Another of the many useful features of Google Docs is the ability to embed a document, form, spreadsheet, presentation or graph into a website, blog, or wiki. The __#|steps__ to doing this are essentially the same for each document type. The primary objective is to copy the embed code (this is html code which is a type of "internet language"). Most website, blog, or wiki services have an option to post custom html. Once the embed code of your document is copied, pasted in your web service, and published the document will be available. This is also useful because any changes made to the document will automatically be made to the document on your website.

Google has prepared an explanation of steps to embed a presentation that can be found here.
