Thing 6

This was my first experience with using Google Drive. I found it not only to be very interesting but very easy to use. I like the fact that you can create a new document, presentation or even a spread sheet instantly and have other users work together at the same time on your document. I could see a benefit of this application for both staff and students.

This would be great for library staff in Brisbane when we sometimes use a spread sheet for our high demand and restricted loans. To be able to have an application like Google drive that gives multiple users the chance to add or edit information I feel would be really useful.

I could see students using this when doing group presentations. I love the fact that you can send just a link through Gmail rather than an email attachment, and that people whom you wish to share your document with can have easy and instant access to this information. I guess this could do away with the sending of large email attachments. I can see that Google Drive is a nice alternate when it comes to the cloud based storage services.

I also love the fact that Google Drive is available for Ipad. For many years now I have used a lot of Google products from Google itself to Google Maps and Google Scholar.  I tend to stick with Google as my preferred search engine. At the moment I have just recently started to explore Google Chrome.
