Description: Google Search is Google's official app for iOS devices (they also have
specific apps for Maps, etc.). It allows
users three ways to access Google Search; 1. Type in a search term, 2. Use
voice (i.e. "Define: triangle") 3.
Goggles (search for similar images using the built in camera). The voice search feature along makes this app
worthwhile, especially when working with students who use non-conventional
spelling.
Another advantage
of using the Google Search app is that it allows users to access several of
Google's other tools such as Docs, Calendar, Gmail, Translate, etc.
This app can be
tied to a personal Gmail account, a Google Apps account, or just used on it's
own without being signed in.
