Google Spreadsheet

Having experience with Excel, there really wasn't much that surprised me with Google Spreadsheet. In fact, the transfer of skills between the two is what I appreciated most. I'd have to say the most outstanding feature I learned of was how you could directly import an Excel document into Google Docs and it translates into a Spreadsheet. Overall, I really like working with Excel/Spreadhseet. I like working with numbers, and the "Only Once" rule makes filling in tables a breeze.

Google Presentations

Google presentations is a very neat tool that works as a substitute for PowerPoint. In fact, for any basic presentation need there's virtually no difference besides the fact that google's is free! It was really easy to use after just using Google Drawings. My presentations seemed to make themselves. PowerPoint isn't a very difficult program either, but I feel like there was a little less clunking around in Google. My only real complaint is the lack of animations. There wasn't much variety if you wanted to spice up your transitions, but that sort of drawback is to be expected.

Google Docs Word Processor

I've learned that most of what I'd expect from a word processor can be found in Google's. You can change colors, fonts, size, and etc. There are some unexpected features, like being able to add a table. What I least liked about the google word processor was adding images to a document. It was very frustrating trying to put the image where you wanted it without changing the position of the words. I didn't really understand the difference between "Fixed Position" and "In Line With Text", and in some cases it wouldn't move at all when I clicked the image and tried dragging. Stubborn issues like this can also be found in Microsoft Word, but in general I prefer Word because its interface is easier to navigate.
