Use Google Docs Offline!

December 6th, 2008

Some students say they like Google Docs but their Internet doesn’t always work at home.

Well, you can use Google Docs even without the Internet. This means that you can work on a document offline and sync it when the Internet works again.

If you have a laptop, this means you can work anywhere.

Watch this video (where you can access YouTube) to find out how.
