"My knowledge of Google Docs has been more limited than it should be, and I've been getting up to speed. I thought readers might find the resources I've been using helpful, too (let me know if you have suggestions of links to add to this list):"

After a long wait, Google Drive is now available for the iPad with the full functionality of the web-based version of Google Drive. To refresh, Google Drive is the new name for the Google Docs Suite. This suite includes Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Forms, and Folders.

"I just discovered Orange Slice, a Google Add-on that offers both teacher and student rubrics.  A handy productivity tool, Orange Slice plays nice with Google Classroom and makes it super easy to evaluate student work in Docs. The Orange Slide Teacher Rubric allows teachers to add rubrics to students' assignments for grading.  The Orange Slide Student Rubric is designed for group collaborations or peer reviewing.  Students could add the Orange Slide Student rubric to their own accounts to evaluate their classmates' work, once the teacher or librarian sets up the Teacher Rubric."

"Welcome back to iPad Summer Camp. Whether your summer is relaxing and filled with free time or packed with busy things (like me - working on a master's degree!), it's important to take some time to play with some of the technology that you might be using next year. If you haven't been following along, check out the introductory post and the first project. Otherwise, onwards to collaborative writing!"

"Do you ever start using a Google service and feel like you really don't know how to use it properly? I feel that way quite often with Google Docs and Google Calendar. It's not that I don't know how to use them - I don't know how to use each feature and option like a nimble productivity ninja! If you sometimes feel the same I definitely recommend you check out 'Training for Google Apps'. This free, By Google extension delivers interactive training and walkthroughs for a slate of Google services, including Calendar, Classroom, Docs, Drive, Forms, Gmail, Google+, Groups, Hangouts, and more."

"Google announced at its annual developer conference Thursday that it's bringing Google Drive to iOS devices. Google Drive was released soon after the announcement. It's a free and universal app, designed for both the iPhone and iPad."

"I've taught about Google Drive/Docs many times in person and virtually. Many teachers have decided to completely move all of their files to the cloud to store them and edit them via Google Drive. The idea of having access to your stuff from any device connected to the web is really appealing; coupled with the collaboration features that Docs offers."

"Google Drive-formerly Google Docs-has come quite a way in nearly a decade of existence. Originally launched as Writely, a startup's clever collaborative word processor, Google quickly acquired the app, changed the name to Google Docs, and released it as a new way to help people work together more efficiently using little more than a browser.
