Functionality of Gmail and Google Drive
Gmail Gmail is a free email service provided by Google. In many ways, Gmail is like any other email service: You can send and receive emails, block spam, create an address book, and perform other basic email tasks. But it also has some more unique features that help make it one of the most popular online email services.
Gmail Features Gmail offers several useful features to make your email experience as smooth as possible, including: Spam filtering: Spam is another name for junk email. Gmail uses advanced technologies to keep spam out of your inbox. Most spam is automatically sent to a separate spam folder, and after 30 days it is deleted. Conversation View: An email conversation occurs whenever you send emails back and forth with another person (or a group of people), often about a specific topic or event. Gmail groups these emails together by default, which keeps your inbox more organized. Built-in chat: Instead of sending an email, you can send someone an instant message or use the voice and video chat feature if your computer has a microphone and/or webcam. Call Phone: This feature is similar to voice chat, except that it allows you to dial an actual phone number to call any phone in the world. It's free to make a call to anywhere in the United States or Canada, and you can make calls to other countries at relatively low rates.
Google Drive Google Drive is a free, web-based office suite and data storage service offered by Google. It allows users to create online documents and edit them collaboratively. As well as word processing, spreadsheets and presentation Google Drive offers a forms option that can be used to generate online surveys and then collate and present the results. Google Apps for Education is a package of free online tools, including Google Drive, compiled specifically for schools/colleges/universities. It enables institutes to setup email accounts for its teachers and students, facilitates shared calendars, shared documents and even the creation of websites that could become class or project websites. It gives the administrator control to limit 2 Applications of Information and Communication Technologies | Lab 1
access to the emails/sites. If someone is considering setting up Google Apps for the institute then it is advisable that it is done in consultation with the ICT Administration person in the institute. For the purposes of setting up an online questionnaire (Form) then a regular Gmail account will suffice.
