Today I learned how to use Google Docs. This seems to me to be a fairly efficient way to communicate between (particularly) co-workers. The same concept goes for the Calendar. I can especially see the usefulness of knowing immediately if your event will overlap another event and if that will be a problem. (Think color coordination.)
On a personal level, I'm not sure that it is as useful to me as I don't have steady, ready access to a computer (as opposed to my day planner). At the time, I have PowerPoint at home but I can see the advantage to using the Google slide show. It would have been especially helpful to my son, for instance, when he was supposed to collaborate with several people last semester for a project and it was VERY difficult to get them all together.
I did have a bit of difficulty getting back into my Google account to do anything beyond Google Reader. It kept asking me to make a new account. But then, I have a hard time remembering how to get into my library email account. MAJOR brain freeze on my part. After writing this, I am going to go try again.
Personally, learning to blog has been the most practical and fun lesson.
