Google is so much more than just a browser. Google provides a large number of Web 2.0 applications that are free to use:
- Google Docs - shared editing of documents - wordprocessing, spreadsheets, presentation software
- Google Forms - really part of Google Docs, and worth looking at - YouTube tutorial about Google Forms; Blog posting with instructions on how to create forms
- Google Page Creator - edit and publish Web pages
- Blogger - create and publish a blog
- Gmail - web-based e-mail - with great spam filtering
- Google Calendar - great use of AJAX in a shared calendar environment
- iGoogle - a customizable AJAX-based startpage or personal web portal - features include the capability to add web feeds and Google Gadgets
- Google News - create your own customized news profiles
- Google SideWiki - leave helpful comments on ANY webpage
Another online site is zoho.com which offers a free online office suite (you can pay too for more features). I have used zoho to embed a spreadsheet in a page on Blackboard for example. I imagine that google docs can do the same thing.
