Abstract	Online collaboration and project-management tools allow people to work together without being in the same place at the same time. However, that is not all, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, for example, allows the creation of documents and spreadsheets just like in Microsoft Word and Excel, but with more collaborative capacity. Google Calendar lets students or colleagues make an appointment with by editing the calendar online or by sending an email with an Add to Calendar button. Google Calendar and Google Docs & Spreadsheets are part of an online tools package called Google Apps. The Education Edition of Apps is free for accredited, nonprofit schools and requires no new software or hardware. All the school has to do is sign up on Google's Web site with proof of education status and the participants get ad-free email for students, a calendar, chat, and a Web page maker. Google's Start Page provides single sign-in access to the Apps and is customizable. The lead engineer for Google Apps, Derek Parham, points out that valuable interactive features in Apps make collaboration a lot easier. Although Google Apps is free, most other providers limit free services and offer substantial upgrades to paying customers. (ERIC).
