Google For Educators
After looking at all the different applications on this web page, I found quite a lot of them to be very useful when thinking of ways to use them in the classroom. The search applications could all be used by students when preparing essays, research projects, and various other projects that require researching. The search category includes many forms of searching such as "book search", "geo education", "news", "igoogle", and "web search". Another application category is "Communication, show, & share". This category includes applications such as "blogger", "calendar", "docs", "groups", "Page creator", "picasa", "sketchUp", and "google apps". I found that with blogger, the students can create their own online journals for recording their thoughts and responses on projects, docs is a great way to create polls and surveys for the students as well as exams and quizes. Groups is another great application because it allows the teacher to have online lessons like Ecmp 355. I found these applications to be a good way to teacher children and can deffinatly see my self useing them in the future.

Hi Chelsey,
ReplyDeleteDid you invent those categories? ie; "search", "communication, show & share". That's a pretty cool way in sorting out the Google Tools.
