"Google?s presence in our nation?s schools is a big one and is only going to increase. Jared Covili has put together an excellent guide—useful for those who are tech savvy and those who are not—for how teachers and students can use these tools for teaching and learning."
Larry Ferlazzo, Advice Columnist
Education Week Teacher

"Jared Covili does an excellent job diving into the intricacies of Google so everyone can get the most out of the suite of apps. If you are not ?Going Google,? you might as well just ?Ask Jeeves? for support. "
