The beauty is in the simplicity and ease of use. I can start a project at work on one computer and then complete the presentation, letter, spreadsheet or whatever it happens to be on any other computer that is connected to the internet. All your work is done on your Google Documents web page. You do not have to download a word processor, spreadsheet, or presentation program. Did I mention that all this is free; all you have to do is sign up for a free Google account.

Here is a presentation that I have created and shared at conferences.

The winner for our school was Trey, a fourth grader in Mrs. Knight’s class. The students did an amazing job and truly enjoyed themselves. Please take a look at our projects along with those of the other 14 schools that participated. Schools from Waycross to New Zealand and beyond all worked hard on producing multimedia videos about themselves and their towns.

Find the completed projects along with the winners from each school here.
