Google for Educators - Entry #2

Name three Classroom Tools you might want to use with students.
Google Groups
Book search
Google News

How do you think you would use these tools?
Google Groups would be great for students to share information and collaborate on difficult assignments. I t would also be the perfect tool for the students to access information on a subject or assignment that the teacher posted (if they lost a handout). In all it would be a tool that would help the student become more socialized and create a more relaxed and fun classroom learning environment.
Google book search would be useful for projects need some research or to find general information. It might it be a good avenue for students to get or gather ideas for a certain project that has been assigned.
Google News would be useful to keep students up-to-date on current events. This could spark great classroom discussions or create the most current appearing project.

Name one advantage of using Google Docs with students.
That it enables the collaboration between peers and will help encourage students to work effectively together as partners or in a larger group. This will in addition create an overall cohesive virtual and real classroom setting.
