What is Google Docs?
Google Docs is a free, web-based office suite. The suite includes many of the same things found in Microsoft Office, including ways to create (and edit) documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Any projects through Google Docs can be shared with another person with a Google/Gmail account, with different levels of permission.
