The Power of Google

It's all about the tools that you have in your toolbox.  I have an igoogle page, however I know now that I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what it can do for me.  For this Literacy & Technology class I have used GoogleDocs and gtalk.  I have played around with putting various gadgets on my page but haven't realized their full potential.  It is apparent that Google has harnessed the concept of Web 2.0 and made the various tools easily accessible to the user.  Google is truly on the cutting edge and not just a search engine.  Rather, Google is a portal for all types of communication, collaboration, and research.  I will be customizing my igoogle page to take advantage of all that Google has to offer.

  2. Doug,

    I agree with your blog about the nature of Google and its value as a communication, collaboration and research tool.
    How do you think you can apply the approach you took with learning about Google to other kinds of technological applications and tools?

    Sincerely,

    Tara S.
