Awesome Gmail account!!

So... I thought that i was very content with my yahoo email. It's served me well. But today in class we went over how you can use "document" in Gmail. IT'S AMAZING. I'm so impressed that I can go into my email and create an excel spreadsheet. That was way cool to me because I don't have that program on my computer.. But know I do.
This is going to be such a great help when I do projects in a group for my classes now. For example in my Intro to Education class I have to get into a group and prepare a chapter review that we are going to present to the class. This will be so convenient. The people in my group will be able to log on to their Gmail accounts and see the exact document that I've been working on for our review. This is going to help a ton when we wont be able to meet in person!
Also in class we went more in depth of some of the options for our blogs.. I'm still exploring but it seems like fun. This blog spot will be helpful when I'm a teacher. I'll be able to blog about daily things that we did in class, and then the parents of my students will be able to see what their child did that day. I think it will be very exciting!! But for now I'm still exploring :)
