Google has become a staple in our culture. The word Google is readily accepted as a verb in our language. Potential employers google prospective employees. Individuals google their new love interest. I even googled myself. I knew Google in these terms, however I did not know Google had so many other tools. I set up a GMail account for this class to be able to use Blogger. It is a very userfreindly email. I was able to link it to my cell phone. This link allows me to view my email on my phone. However, it also allows me to back up my photos and contacts to my GMail account. That means that if something happens to this phone like I break it or lose it, I can link the new phone up to my GMail and get all my contacts and photos back. I had no idea there was a way to do this! This is a great feature.
I also looked at Google calendars. Though I worked on one, I have to say that my Outlook calendar is much more user friendly. I do not think that I will use Google calendars. I can see the benefit though of having a calendar I can access from any computer, anywhere.
