Google Apps in the Classroom

There are many advantages to using google apps in the classroom. One major advantage is the fact that students will be able to work on a project together at once online. Growing up I was always frustrated with everyone sending me their information and then having to add all the information onto a powerpoint or into a paper. The google app, called google docs, allows the students to work online together so that they can all add their own information to the project. In the google docs app, students can create spreadsheets, powerpoints and regular word documents. I find these apps especially useful for students in high school and college. They will be able to use these apps the more productive than elementary school children. I feel that elementary school children need extra help learning how to use the technology, but once they do learn how to use it they may find it so helpful and fun that they may want to use it from then on.
