McAuley Film Studies

Google's own 'tour' of the Google Docs facility can be seen by clicking here, but I don't want you to just follow the instructions at the end of the tour as it is important that you sign up as part of the McAuley Google Apps domain. (If you want to set up a separate 'ordinary' Google account of your own, that's up to you).

The screencasts below will take you through the process of setting up a Google Docs account using your McAuley email address.

There is a final stage that you need to complete that is not included in the screencasts, and that is to set up your Google profile so that your name appears when you share your documents, rather than just your login number. To do that just go to the 'settings' menu and choose 'Google Account settings', then choose 'Create a Google profile' (the link is just next to the icon near the top left). You don't need to fill in any information other than your first and last name, if you don't want, then scroll down and click 'Create Profile.'

Job done!
