What is the difference between Google Apps and GAFE?

What is Google Apps?

Google Apps is a suite of Google applications that brings together essential

services to help your business or school. This is a hosted service that lets

businesses, schools, and institutions use a variety of Google products --

including Email, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk -- on a

unique domain (e.g., www.yourcompany.com).

If you own the domain example.com and you sign up for Google Apps

services, everyone at your organization will get:

● A custom email address (user@example.com)

● Tools for word processing

● Spreadsheets and presentations

● A shared calendaring system

● Tools for creating web pages and sites for your business

● Access to a flexible intranet system

● And much, much more!

Matariki Presentation Example

This project will allow students to collaborate on the work involved in learning new vocabulary for any subject area.

As individuals or in pairs, they can research a term and report their findings on one slide in a Google Presentation. As each term is defined on a separate slide, the presentation grows, creating a collaborative project that can be reviewed with the entire class.
