I am a committed user of Google's Tools.
- Documents (Word Processor)
- Presentation Creator
- Spreadsheet (which is also a Data Base as are all spreadsheets)
- Reader of RSS Feeds
- Google Earth
These tools are valuable because:
They are FREE! They allow for a collaborative effort which also produces a record of who did what when
Documents and presentations are available to online audiences if desired
Chat (in some cases also with video) is available to "distant" participants
Can't lose document (stored in the cloud, i.e. Google's server)
Accessible anywhere there is an internet connection without need for an application other than a browser
I believe that these tools are very useful in the classroom for teachers and students.
