I have been using google for years and always using the search engine to find information on whatever I needed. I had noticed that google had more to offer and had a wide variety of different online programs to use, but I never thought to ever use them. Using the google groups took a while for me to actually understand how to use some of the features. It just takes time in order to actually get used to it. The google groups assigment allowed me to be aware of all the different functions google offers. These google functions and such things like it online are really beneficial to education. Google offers free, online functions that create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. This are useful because they are free and that promotes easy access for students to acquire a way to make reports and projects and such. In addition, the class can be apart of a Google group and share their work easily with just the teacher or others in the class. Having the children use these Google functions, they are able to explore and practice using many different programs that they typically would have to pay for. This is linked to the NETS-T standards that students must be able to use new digital tools.
