Well, again, lots of new things to learn about this week!! There continues to be so much to learn about and keep up with on the internet. I did look at the Google Tools and was surprised of the number of new products available. I have been using some of the products at home - the IGoogle page, google maps, and the phone service available through google. They have worked out well and the igoogle page is fun to use, although I don't always have time to check everything out that I've put there! I did enjoy learning more about Google Docs. I think it might be useful to use the Google Documents product at work - when I submit monthly YS meeting notes and need them proofread, etc. I will forward to trying out this product. The Google spreadsheet is pretty easy to use - I set up a simple spreadsheet, and think that it might be useful for addresses, keeping track of some stats, etc. Excel is very powerful, however, and this is the product that I will probably use more readily because I am more familiar with it. I have not used the slideshow feature or powerpoint before, so can not compare, but I will be looking into these features as well.
I did enjoy finding the Google Books product and think that I might use it from time to time. It was a convenient way to read a review about a book, find purchase information, or even see what library has it available! There were a lot of other Google products that I hope to check into when I have more time.
Google Labs were interesting too. Amazing to see what products people are working on!
The Google products are readily available and easy to use! I will continue to use the igoogle page and the map available are very helpful.
