Today I would like to share with you one of my favorite Google resources... Google Explore! This is the magical button that looks like
and can be found in the lower right hand corner of most Google Apps. The Google Blog says "Explore uses Google smarts to help you create amazing presentations, spreadsheets and documents in a fraction of the time they used to take… so you can get on with what’s most important in your life. It’s like having a researcher, analyst and designer by your side." Try clicking on it while in a Google App and see what it does!
