An often underused feature of Google Spreadsheets is the chart feature. When you create a spreadsheet from either a spreadsheet or a form, you have the ability to insert a chart with selected data. That chart has great educational potential.
For instance, you can make a GeoMap chart to show regions where more people live or where more people want to travel, etc. You could also do one over political turmoil. As students enter in data, they can plot a variety of charts.
Check out some of the great charts Google offers tutorials on (beginning with Google's GeoMap chart):

Google Literacy?
What does meaning literate mean in the age of Google and new technologies?
Dan Russell of Google gives a great lecture on new age literacy. He is one of their lead "searchers" and defines a new way of acquiring, gathering/building, and sharing knowledge.
Check out his speech to Princeton University in February 2012:
