Comments from those that selected Google Apps as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • "Google Apps provides many features all in the one place. A customisable start page. Generous 6MB of space in provided in the gmail account. Files can easily be backed up to the email account – very useful for students uploading work. Shared calendar feature with text messaging provided. Use your own domain name to provide domain specific email addresses. We use our google apps home page as the portal to all our college eLearning facilities"  Patricia Donaghy
  • "I’m using Google Apps more and more with documents I need to refer to on an ongoing basis.  Things like to-do lists, document collaboration and even mortgage spreadsheets are all used."  Mark Schumann
  • "All things google and I really think they "get it", the future that IS. It isn't about content but ease of sharing, sending, moving, and accessing information among groups and communities. Whether calendars, email, documents, presentations, they GET IT. FREE!"  David Deubelbeiss
  • "the most powerful educational tool is one that provides access to the collection of services provided through the Google Apps suite... especially now with the addition of Google Site"  Mark Arnold
