=Welcome to the Lunch and Learn Wiki!=

We will begin by taking a look at what the folks at Google have created and made available for us to use (for **FREE!!!** ).


 * [|Here is a link that will give you an overview of what Google Docs can do for us as educators. As you look it over, keep this window open and start a new page with your name (or some way we can identify you as the Title and add your thoughts that we can review and discuss. I am thinking that an extended "project" might evolve naturally through this process.] ** Here's how you start a your own new page on our wiki...


 * 1) Click on "New Page" over in the list on the left.
 * 2) Name your page whatever you want it to be (your name/nickname wouldn't be a bad place to start!). Tags are not necessary, but you can add them if you want (these are basically search terms). Click on "CREATE".
 * 3) A page with an Editor bar at the top will appear (magically!) and you can begin to put your thoughts down. Once you get some thoughts down, check out the tools on the Editor bar and make sure you save your work. You can add links as well as manipulate the text as you can in a word document. You can copy and paste as well.
 * 4) Check out your classmates' pages and leave a comment under the discussion tab; and see what your classmate has to say about your page as well!

After you have created your own page on our wiki, take a look at this link that will walk you through getting started/setup with Google Docs...[] It's long and I don' t want you to do everything on it, just browse through and see that you now have a good resource to refer to when you are ready to create your own Google Docs.

=Leave a note on my page when you have created your page and posted some thoughts about ways you could use Google Docs in your job or personal life. =
