Thank you for sharing the information about using Google Docs in language teaching. I am currently an English language teacher to speakers of another language and am currently looking for new ways to engage my students. By using Google Docs, am I able to save a "hard copy" of an original document to verify the changes made by the students if we are not all working on the document simultaneously? If so, would you please demonstrate that information? Thank you.

@AHEADwithUTube Thanks for your feedback! You can download a copy of the document by going to file -> save as ... (top left of the Google Docs screen, NOT the browser window!)

Best,

Stephan
