Many students use Google.com as a search engine to help them find websites or information for research projects and other assignments. However Google has many other features other than searching, they have an email feature, as well as Google Documents which is a free version of office tools that can be compared to Microsoft Office. This is great for classrooms because many schools may not be able to afford supplying their computers with Microsoft Office, but with a Google account students can access a presentation, database, and document feature. This also allows students to collaborate with their teachers and other students by giving them access to certain documents so students can work separately or together while using different computers.
