The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced new security technology coming to airports this year that may eventually change the way you travel.

Wrapping up this series is one final Google App that helps us power our trip - Google Forms. Forms is a data collector. Its uses are unlimited! If you want to collect, well, ANYthing, a Google Form can do this for you.

I highlighted the benefits of Google Sites, Sheets, the Drive app, and Calendar in previous posts. Next up in the Google Blog Series is how Google Docs makes planning your school trip much easier.

Here’s what we’ve covered so far in our Google Blog Series: Google can help in countless ways when it comes to planning a trip.  If you missed my previous blogs, I discussed the benefits of using Google Sites as a warehouse for trip documents and Google Sheets as a powerhouse for sending personal emails in bulk.  The next integral pieces we will cover in this article are accessing Google Drive on your Goggle App and using Google Calendar.

 A class trip to Washington, D.C. is a great starting point for an educational experience of a lifetime. Going beyond the city to add another stop to your itinerary can offer new opportunities without adding much travel time.

Deepen your curricular connections, add science and technology experiences, or simply have a day of fun in these great cities.
