Google resources

We tried a lot of different things in Google lately, such as presentation, and google forms. This week I checked out Google in Education, and it is an useful tool for educator. In Google in Education, it has a lot of things we can explore, such as google Apps for Education (free email and collaboration for schools), education resources (educator guides for Google products, and other magical tools), lesson plan (lesson plans and curricula). The google apps seems like very useful, and will benefits a lot in education. I found something pretty useful called google maps for education. Teachers can use this in the classroom to explore the order side of the world. Students can explore the world without leaving the classroom.(http://maps.google.com/help/maps/education/learn/index.html) Also, I really like using google drive. It makes things easier. Students do not have to email their assignment to the teachers. They can just finish their work by using the words, forms, and presentations tools in google, and share them with their teachers. Also, they can choose to share their works with other classmates. It will help them to learn from each other by giving comments, and sharing. I think google will be a great source for me to teach in the future.
