Google for Educators

I think that this is a really cool concept that google has created in order to provide information on how to use their tools in the classrooms. My three favorites are iGoogle, Google Docs, and Goople Groups. I really like both concepts of Google Docs and Google groups in that you can work on things from ANYWHERE and I don't necesarily have to be in the classroom to help students. I think there is an advantage to students being able to consult their peers for help outside of the classroom. What I really like about iGoogle is that you can customize the location and time zone so in my Spanish classroom, we could have a custom page to view and be able to check out stories and events that are written in Spanish! Google Docs makes it possible to review and create documents that are easily accessible and do not require constant emailing or hard copies. It makes a student's (and a teacher's) life that much easier and integrating technology in our classrooms today encourages more positive, non-archaic learning.
