massive pool for storage of files, sharing and collaboration abilities, and a free, online office suite of programs.
Google Apps provides us with the following suite of products: Google Drive

Google Sites Websites that are easily editable and can have items from other Google tools easily
embedded without having to know HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) Google Calendar

BENEFITS OF GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION Anytime, anywhere access because Google Apps works in any browser on
any computer, which means you can access your calendars and documents from school or at home.
No flash drives required with documents and files stored in Google Drive.
Students can easily collaborate with students from other classes, buildings, schools, districts or even different countries on group projects.
Teachers can be involved throughout the whole assignment process providing comments and feedback directly in the documents.
Students can develop an e -portfolio of work throughout their years at the school.
