#3-Google Apps for the Classroom

As the video showed there are so many things to do with Google Apps.  Even though it was produced as a selling tool to schools, it had alot of information that we as future teachers can use. 
I think that in the three tools that I would have my students use would be

1.  Book Search-  This would be invaluable in looking for books that would be helpful in doing research projects, book reports and for looking up general information.  This might be more specific than a general search engine.

2.  iGoogle-  Students would be able to set up their own accounts and use them as they see fit.  It has great tools and students can use them to their advantage.

3.  Blogger-  This is something that students can write their own reflections about and show that they are mastering or trying to master the skills needed in todays ever changing world.

As technology grows, we have to adapt to it.  I am the old dog learning the new tricks!  And the new tricks seem to be fun and are a growing experience!
