Google features

As you probably know, Google has many more features, apps and services than just the search engine itself. Some of them, like Google News or Gmail or Google Maps, are very well known, but other are truly interesting and useful and are not so popular.

Your assignment consists in:

• Find 5 Google applications that are not well known.
• For each of them, explain what their function is, how they work technically and give one example of its application, including a screenshot of it.
• Explore, on top of the 5 above, Google Now and Google+, and reflect on their applications and potential. 
• Choose one of these applications and state how it could be used in the school to enhance anything we do in class.
