I just started a three week class on using Google Apps for Education, and it's pretty amazing how much is available. I already use Google apps a little bit- I have this blog, a gmail account, and I really love Google Drive. Google provides at least 10 gigabytes of free space, and I found out I could get 100 gigabytes of space for only $1.99 a month- which is a steal considering I can make sure all of my school files are synced and I don't need to worry so much about losing my work. I've always found copying and pasting files from one computer to another can be quite a headache. With Google Drive you can download the Google Drive application onto your computer and then copy any files and/or folders that you want onto it and it will then save all of those files onto the cloud so you can access it anywhere you have internet access. This makes it so I won't have to worry about whether what I saved on my flash drive was newer than the file that I saved on my computer, and if I change it in one place it will automatically be changed in another place. Amazing!
I'm looking forward to learning more about how to connect with other teachers, and be able to share what me and my students are doing on a regular basis.
