Collaboration Technology

In today's high-tech world, incredible technologies and tools have recently become available to students and teachers. At times it can be difficult to keep up with all of the products released from companies such as Apple and Microsoft. Often times a newer and better product or version is released shortly after the latest "new thing" forcing many into buyer's remorse.
However, there are many programs that will likely be around for a while. These programs have improved collaboration efforts required by projects and student course work. Google's "gmail" has simplified this process by making a central location for members to communicate. Group members can communicate through email, share and manipulate word documents and spreadsheets, and even plan out schedules. Gmail also enables students to complete and coordinate work even when they are located in different locations.
