At first I want to share two links. Go
there and watch. You'll have better understanding of what google Apps are:
Nowadays there is a
challenge-everything is shifting from individual into group work,
collaborations, joined research, projects that different schoolsa nd
Universities can do together. And here is a need for complex environment, kind
of cloud where all the information will be stored and shared.Such kind of
environment is provided by google Apps. There are different google Apps but as
I am a future teacher I'm ineterested mostly in google Apps for Education.
Google Apps Education Edition
is a broad that schools and Universities can use to bring communication and
collaboration tools to the entire academic community for free. Students,
teachers and staff can share ideas more quickly and get things done more
effectively when they have access to the same powerful communication and
sharing tools (it’s notion of cloud computing). Google Apps Education Edition
lets tech administrators provide email, sharable online calendars, instant
messaging tools and even a dedicated website to faculty, students and staff for
free. There's no hardware or software to install or maintain, since
everything is delivered through a standard web browser -- anytime, from
anyplace.
The advantages of Google Apps
Education Edition are:
· No adverts for
faculty, staff ad student
· 7.3 GB mail
quotas
· 24/7
administrator support
· Advanced
integration capabilities
However, its
disadvantages are not clear and maybe they are but we can’t see them behind so
many opportunities that Google App for Education give us.
This is in general about google Apps now
I want to tell about my experience of using them both as a learner and as a
teacher. This is a site that I found while exploring google
Apps. There one can find a lot of resources for educators to use.
