I used the Google calendar and the Google translator. I could definitely use both of these tools provided by Google for personal use and for the classroom! The Google calendar would come in great handy for reminders! I would probably choose to use this for one specific thing. For example, I could use the Google calendar for events that only pertain to the school I would be teaching at. This way, I would not be overwhelmed with notifications and things going on. I use a paper calendar and I prefer to write things down for my everyday life, but I could definitely use the Google calendar for something like that! I also explored the Google translator and had lots of fun watching it translate words for me. I could definitely use the Google translator within my classroom. In today’s society, there are many ELL (English Language Learners) in classrooms. It is very likely that a teacher may have a student who will not speak fluent English or even speak no English at all. The Google translator would be a great tool to translate words for the teacher and the student. Overall, Google has endless possibilities! It is way more than just a popular search engine! Just spend some time exploring Google and you will see!

Oh man without Google calendar I would be absolutely LOST! I have it synced up with my phone so I get reminders about bills, doctor/dentist appointments (with two kids it's hard to remember it all!), important dates, etc. It is an amazing tool, and the fact that it's free just makes it so much better!! :)
ReplyDeleteJordan I agree about using google translator to help with ell students.
