Using Google Apps for Education

Using Google Apps for Education • Create a learning community (free of charge) • Create, share and collaborate documents, spreadsheets and presentations. • Create web pages and publish documents. • Communicate with your community by email, IM and voice calling. • Organize and publish events using Google Calendar • If you don’t own a web domain, register and set one up through Google. (£4.78 per year) This can make setting up Google Apps somewhat more straightforward.
