That may be how you feel in a few years as Google seems to create more and more free tools for people to use. Here at STMA, we hope to be taking advantage of Google's generosity as many of Google's tools are very useful for the education world. This blog you are reading is provided free and may generate online discussions between the classroom and the world. You might be reading this blog as it is embedded into the STMA Tech Integration site which is hosted by Google Sites, another free tool provided by google.
Other tools soon to be integrated by STMA students and staff might be Gmail and Google Docs. Gmail is a free email service which will work with our databases to create free email accounts for students to use. An example student address may be joe.student@mystma.com. Google Docs provides an online version of popular office tasks like word processing, spreadsheet calculating, and slide show presenting. But, these tools are incredibley collaborative and interactive. Google Docs puts the 2 in Web 2.0!
Watch out for much more to come from Google!
