MIRIAM SCHNEIDER: So here we are at Google, about to leave
on our university back to school road trip.
JEFF KELTNER: We're gonna visit 10 campuses around the
US, talk to students and faculty, and find out what are
they doing with Google Apps, and what can we be doing
better to make this [INAUDIBLE].
MIRIAM SCHNEIDER: We can't wait to see you there, so get
on the bus.
MALE SPEAKER: The conversations are the best
with the professor.
You don't have to keep tracing back where your email is from.
It has all my contacts ever saved.
Just type in search, and every person comes up.
FEMALE SPEAKER: As a crazy college student, I don't have
time to write a diary like I'd really want to, and so I use
my Google Calendar to sort of remember everything I do.
If I remember that one day in October I played Twister, and
my friend broke his thumb, I can search Twister in my
calendar and find the date, and remember it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So I'm actually making a calendar for
all the free food on campus, and I'm sharing it with all my
friends that I know don't have a dining plan.
MALE SPEAKER: I'm a part of about six different groups on
campus, so I'm able to sync all my calendars.
And the great part?
I'm able to put it on my phone and send me updates and emails
of where I'm supposed to be.
Plus half the time I forget, but don't tell anybody.
MALE SPEAKER: It's a great way to get with all your
professors and keep in contact with all the people that you
left behind, and family, and new friends.
FEMALE SPEAKER: When it gets a little bit too cold in the
winter, we usually have like, online chats to actually
collaborate and do our club meetings.
MALE SPEAKER: I'm in [INAUDIBLE]
Computer Literacy 180, and for that class I actually have to
make a website.
Instead of making it all in HTML, I can just going to
Google and make my own website, and make it look cool
and design it, and it's easy to do.
MALE SPEAKER: My entire class of over 3,000 people are
currently using Google Docs to create a big document so we
can present it to a company.
MALE SPEAKER: There was a group of seven of us that had
to do this presentation.
Somebody even at one point completely
rearranged all the slides.
It was no big deal.
Went back two revisions that we needed to go, everything's
back the way it's supposed to be.
No hassle, no mess.
MALE SPEAKER: I'm also using it for my fraternity to
collect a lot of information from all the alumni.
I send them a form in an email, they
fill it out, hit submit.
It automatically populates the spreadsheet.
MIRIAM SCHNEIDER: We really learned some valuable things
about how students were using these tools.
Keep your eye out for the bus.
You never know where it'll be next, and who knows?
It might just show up at your campus one day.
