Google-mania
After having explored some, but I'm sure not ALL, of the many facets of Google, I'm surprised Google doesn't own everything! Who would have ever thought that there would be so many Google tools all in one easy location. I'm wondering how I never knew about any of them. I went home and was telling everyone, "There's Google this and Google that," and they said, "Yeah, we know..." What?! How did you know and I'm sitting alone in the dark? Either way, I am so fascinated by the sheer volume of resources that Google presents us now, all of which could easily be used in so many ways in the classroom. My mind is reeling with a zillion different projects that my kids would absolutely LOVE using all of these Google products. Can't wait to use Google to help bring my classroom into the 21st century!

I am amazed also at how I could not of known how resourceful google is. I sure wish I would of known about this years ago. I guess maybe I should be a little more adventurous and explore technology more often then I do. I am so excited about google and like you Kaie, I have been spreading the word. I sure wish I would of had this technology course at the beginning of my masters rather then at the end!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are happy to learn about Google and its many, many features. I hope we can all keep up with all the new stuff...
ReplyDeleteKatie, I am also in awe of all that google has to offer. I went home and told my husband who teaches at a cyber school and who I thought knew a lot about computers. He was also amazed at all of the links. He bookmarked some of the google teacher and google scholar links to explore more.
