How google's services can make you a more efficient and organized student.

The official google tag line for its student line of applications:
 * "You deal with a lot of information -- a lot of it is academic, a lot more is personal. It all matters, and you can probably use some better tools to handle it. Google Apps can help. "**

My Opinion and How I use Google Apps
Google apps are designed to make things a little easier on students and other professionals by providing competitive services which are relevant and completely accessible. I use Google Calendar, Gtalk, and Google apps as forms of personal organization for myself, as well as to collaborate in class. I own a netbook, which I bring to class in lieu of my 17 inch beast of a Dell laptop, for the sake of space saving and convenience. Because netbooks are designed to be portable, they do not often have the processing power or space a traditional notebook would. This is where Google Docs comes in for me. I can take notes in class using the word processor, which is a cloud application so it does not have to be installed on my computer to run it, the google servers do that job. The document is saved online, so I can access it from anywhere I can connect to the net, and even share it with classmates who might want to exchange notes.
