These are my notes on the functionality presented during this session, unfortunately not enough time to note down step by step instructions so you may need to do some exploring to fully experience these features:

Google Books – search the world’s libraries, import into a document, highlight search and link words.

Spellchecker – indexes incorrect spellings in context, draws from web pages not a static database. Not perfect but gets better every day as it is constantly building its knowledge base.

Google Drive – cloud syncing, open multiple documents stored in foldersPresentations – more image options, camera option.

Gmail – enable extra features in settings>Labs – use canned responses and filters to auto respond to requests.

Google Maps – Save to Maps feature builds custom maps to display specific location information with walking, driving and public transport directions, share with others.

Google Art projects – navigate through museums to see artworks, more museums being added.

YouTube – create playlists, set up school channel in Google Apps for Education, new project – www.youtube.com/teachers
