What?
This week, my eyes were opened to the Google universe as I learned about Google Docs, Presentations, Spreadsheets, and Forms. Google Forms are my new favorite things. I learned how to set up and manage my Google account, and how to create and use Google calendars.
So What?
The Google world completely changes how educators work. Google opens multiple doors as far as communication and production for teachers; doors that have been closed until now. Technology is getting more and more advanced, which is only turning out to be beneficial for the education world. I have never seen anything like this before, and it absolutely inspires me as a future teacher. Google has shed a new light on communication, in general. Students can collaberate on one document at the same time using Google Docs, teachers can easily communicate with colleagues or students' parents, it's (in my opinion) pretty revolutionary. All these Google tools (Docs, Forms, etc.) that I learned about this week are tools that I can easily see teachers, or future teachers like myself, using quite often to improve and contribute to the classroom.
Now What?
As I mentioned before, this new Google technology is very inspiring for me. It makes me excited to become a teacher and use these tools in my classroom. I can plan lessons and activites around these Google tools, lessons and activities that would not have been possible before Google technology. This changes collaberation forever - collaberation between teacher and student, student and student, teacher and teacher, even teacher and parent. To top it all off, it's FREE. How can you possibly beat that?
