Google Docs is a powerful word processing tool many schools have adopted. As it's similar to Microsoft Word and others, its features are intuitive to use.

I know many people use Google Docs for collaborative writing - I used to use Google Docs all the time as well, but OneNote Online is my new favorite!

The best part is it is very user-friendly. I highly recommend trying it out!
