Thing 12

Google Tools are something that I use quite often.  In fact Blogger is a Google Tool.  I have a Google email account, use Google calendar which is integrated with my iPhone.  I use Google docs to create and share assignments with my students (spreadsheets of data for example from labs).  I have recently learned the extreme value of Google Translate with the addition of an ELL in one of my classes.  I copy and past a large amount of information from lectures, to worksheets, and tests through Google Translate for this one student.  There are times it feels like I am teaching a third class for the amount of time I spend using that tool.  I think there are a vast array of uses in the classroom for Google Tools.  I encourage my students to use Google Drive for assignments.  I have the Google Books app on my iPad, which is fantastic for all the public domain classics that I try to find time to read (I have a great collection but just not enough time to get through them all).  

While I utilize Google Tools quite often, I have created a special file to share with everyone.  I hope that you enjoy this from Google Draw: Smiley Face
