This environment has created an ideal space for the sharedconstruction of knowledge and has become a useful tool for sharing mathematicsmaterials and resources collaboratively regardless of distance and time. With the useof these tools further attention has been attracted by students and they have focusedon the important aspects of the studied subject. We have studied the consequencesof using this tool in promoting the use of ICT and communication and motivation ofstudents of the Secondary School using a form created with Google Drive that hasbeen sent to students by email and has been answered by them.
