I got it and I like it. It is a cool tool. It is not a replacement for Excel or openoffice, BUT what it does it does well.
Google help us manage the team. We use it as a collaborative workspace.
- Team 237 maintains a master gmail account for the mentors. We all have access to all the important emails and can comment about the emails by replying to the thread.
- Google Talk allows use to IM without having to install AIM.
- Google Calender imports dates right out of the gmail account and we all have access to the SAME calender.
- Google Spreadsheets will allow us to share the MASTER copy of any data that we use public spreadsheets for. You can chat and work on the same sheet as a group.
Sweet
