3 Pros & cons about using Google docs:
Pros:
- Everyone can communicate and collaborate with each other.
- Information can be updated and checked anytime of the day and night.
- Images, videos and links can be shared with everyone, or to a direct person
Cons:
- not everyone has Internet at home, so some people are restricted to just sharing and checking information during uni time.
- Your email may be spammed with all the updates
- The internet/Google may not always send out information to other or may not be able to save your information on the web because it’s crashing.
