Week+2


 * __Week 2__ - The World of Google**

This week we had a guest speaker in to talk to us about google and its framework of free applications. All the programs that they provide are free to the public, since Google obtains almost all of their revenue from advertising. Microsoft isn't too happy with the competition, since their products are free. I, on the other hand, think that having these free products is fantastic. This would come in extremely useful for teaching. Education is now leaning towards interactive collaborative learning for students. The process of storing the information online and allowing access from any computer opens up many new options for learning techniques. It also provides students with learning in schools that is more similar to what they would see after they graduate.

The software for week 2 was Google applications, which are free to the public. Google Apps includes programs that are similar to Microsoft Office, as well as GMail, Google Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites. To access Google Apps you go to the website []. You then create an account using an e-mail acount that you have. You then can use any of the applications.
