The most helpful technology tool: Google Drive

       The most helpful technology tool for me would have to be all the Google Drive products: Gmail, Google docs, Google powerpoint, etc. I find it so convenient that I can have all my documents and spread sheets and presentations all in one spot and I do not even have to carry around flash drive anymore (even though I still do just in case). I used it a lot in high school, because we would work on things on class and then I could access them at home. Even other products (like blogger) connect to Gmail, so it makes all your social media connected as well. If there is a group project that needs working on, it is also easy to just create a Google doc or presentation and multiple people can work on it an once and it saves all the changes. If the group cannot all meet, there is even a chat option to talk about changes and ideas while working on the project. Like I said earlier, it is a very convenient tool to use and have and even having a Gmail account looks pretty professional instead of using something like "hellokitty420@whatever.com." 
       The Google Drive is free to use, as long as you have a Gmail account (which is also free) and that is better than having to download all the Microsoft Office products that do not come installed on your computer. The Google docs, presentations, and spreadsheets have pretty much the same layout as those in the Microsoft Office products, but are just a tad different. I think it was a great idea for Google to create these products, especially for students, because it helps students collaborate easily with each other.
