27 January - Google Part 2

What?
Last week in class we learned about Google sites and all the tools it has to offer.
So What?
This is such a great tool to use in your classroom. Students have access to this technology in their homes and at school. Google sites is a great way to engage your students with the technology. It keeps your class organized and helps the students stay on task. This is a great tool to help to keep parents involved in the classroom with them able to see what announcements and things are going on that week. This tool allows for the parents to help their students keep up with the homework. Most tools such as microsoft word cost money but Google gives teachers a variety of tools that are free of cost. Google has many great tools to use such as a survey for new students, announcements, file cabinet, and a calendar. It allows for your students to stay involve
Now What?
This tool will be really great when I am a teacher. I will use it to keep my students' parents involved in the classroom. This will help the parents keep their children on task because they will know what homework is due. I also like this tool because it will help me to stay organized and it will help to save paper. I don't know though what I will use it for right now as a student.
