IGoogle and GoogleDocs

IGoogle and google docs are some of many tools that google offers.

In igoogle you can cutomize the background image and colour. IGoogle also lets you add and take away wigets and tabs, some for fun and others for more serious matters...



You can change the theme of your own igoogle account by clicking on the 'change theme'  on the top right hand. Once you've clicked on that a few themes will appear on the screen. Then you choose the theme you want and click 'add this'. The theme will soon appear on your igoogle page. 





If you want any other themes click on 'browse all themes', and another google page will appear with a wide range of themes to choose out of and to select the one you want you again just click 'add this'.

If you want to add any other gagets you then just click on 'Gadgets' on the top left. You will them have a wide range of gagets to choose out of, some fun and games and others more serious, again to add a gadget just click 'add this'. 


IGoogle is great as it is useful for a range of things and you get to creat your very own personalised page with it as well....

Now, with Google Docs we can work online using word, powerpoints, excel documents and many more... This is a fantastic thing to use when you have to work in group as it allows more then one person to access and edit the same document at any one time. This is also great as it allows people to save the document on their account online and access it any where there is internet. Using  Google Docs you can also save the link to and public webpage to share your documnet with others...

To create a documnet on Google Docs all you need to do once you've logged on is click on the red 'create' button on the left hand side of the screen, The underneathe the word 'create' there eill appear a varity of choices of different documents, here you can choose your desired document. once you've clicked on your choosen document another tab will open up with the documnent, here you can type up what you wish and edit it the same ways as if it were opened
 on the computer it self.


On the right hand sideof the document screen there will be a blue button with 'share written on it, if you click that you'll be able to set it so you're friends and family are able to view the document.
