Thing #12

Google is probably one of my most used sites. I use google to search for things all the time. However, I did not realize how many other things Google has to offer. I explored almost all the extra things that Google did and I was amazed. I think that Google had designed all of these tools perfectly. Although I liked all of these tools and think they will all be useful, my favorite two tools were the Google Calendar and Google Translate. I think both of these website will be the most useful in my classroom. With Google Calendar, I want to make a calendar online with the classwork and homework we did that day so students and parents can look at the calendar instead of emailing me. It will more convenient for everyone. With the translator I think it would be useful to talk to parents. Depending on where I teach, I could possibly have parents of students that only speak another language, this is where the translator would be useful. I think that it is very easy to use and would be a great way for me to communicate. I think it is important to make sure that a language barrier is not a problem no matter where or who you teach. Education is important for everyone and its important to give all students the same education.
