6. What is the difference between Google
Apps and GAFE?
What is Google Apps?
Google Apps is a suite of Google applications that brings together essential
services to help your business or school. This is a hosted service that lets
businesses, schools, and institutions use a variety of Google products --
including Email, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk -- on a
unique domain (e.g., www.yourcompany.com).
If you own the domain example.com and you sign up for Google Apps
services, everyone at your organization will get:
● A custom email address (user@example.com)
● Tools for word processing
● Spreadsheets and presentations
● A shared calendaring system
● Tools for creating web pages and sites for your business
● Access to a flexible intranet system
● And much, much more!
What’s the difference between a Google account & a Google Apps account?
What is Google Apps?
Google Apps is a free suite of web-based collaboration and
communication tools:
● Google docs
● Google calendar
● G Mail
● Google forms

Don’t forget about all the other great Google products, such as Google
Maps, Blogger, YouTube, Google Groups, Google Scholar, Chrome
(Google’s innovative web browser) and much more.

34. Matariki Presentation Example
This project will allow students to collaborate on the work involved in learning
new vocabulary for any subject area.
As individuals or in pairs, they can research a term and report their findings on
one slide in a Google Presentation. As each term is defined on a separate
slide, the presentation grows, creating a collaborative project that can be
reviewed with the entire class.
