The Google Docs for students page

We recently launched the docs for students page which highlights how various student populations can use Google Docs in their daily life. We wanted to take a chance to highlight this page for all of you students as we're pretty sure you'll relate to one or more of them:

If you are an RA, you'll identify with Marie. She plans really fun trips for her whole dorm using forms.

For all you math majors out there, you may be interested in how Christine uses the equation editor in Google Docs to collaborate with others and power through her Probabilistic Systems Analysis class.

For any of you working towards your PhD as Chandler is in International Relations, you'll find the footnotes and revision history features invaluable.

English majors may really identify with Steve, as he uses a lot of the editing tools such as comments, strikethrough and double space to perfect his English papers.

Finally, for those of you who are foreign language majors, you'll most likely enjoy using the translate document feature that Lisa uses in her studies.

We hope these characters and their stories really enlighten you to what's possible with Google docs as a student. These characters use Docs to enhance and manage their academic and social lives and we hope you will too.
