All Google, All The Time....

This month we explore all things Google. Now everyone knows that Google is great for finding stuff on the web, but did you know that you can use it for email, creating documents and spreadsheets, creating calendars, searching for locations on Earth and much more? No? Then you better plan on getting to this month's meeting and learn about Google Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Book Search, Google Earth, Google Maps and more. Oh, and even though you know how to use Google for finding stuff on the web, we'll show you how to do that better as well. See you there!
