In Question 1 of this activity, you will use Google Docs to collaborate before you do this question. The exercise will show you how Google Docs uses version management (you know what changes have been made and by whom and the document is available to all collaborators on the Google server). This part of the activity will be part of the assignment task 1. What is collaboration? Discuss this in class with your team members/partner for the first 10 minutes of the lab. Write down your answer in a MS Word document and save it (one paragraph will do). Upload it to Google Docs and invite your other team members (if in a team) or someone else in the class to collaborate on that document with you (you will need evidence of collaboration as part of the assignment task) i.e. add something, correct something, etc. With your group or your chosen partner, decide first who is going to be the owner/author of the document, this will be the person to upload the document.
