I am a user of Google Tools

I love to use the tool's Google has to offer and encourage my student's to take advantage of them.
  • Documents (the equivalent of Microsoft Word)
  • Spreadsheets (the equivalent of Microsoft Excell)
  • Presentations (the equivalent of Powerpoint)
  • RSS feeds directly to my gmail account

The reason I live these tools are:

  • They are free
  • They are simple to use, and much help is availiable if needed
  • They allow you to not have to carry around and rely on electronic means of saving, such as jump drives or CD's.
  • They allow more than one person to have the same file and work on them without it getting messy. Everything is shared automatically through google.
  • Everything is saved on a mainframe server at Google, and can not be lost
  • It allows live chat and video while working
  • Everything is available online, and cuts down on the lost time while getting documents or power points while in the classroom.
I have found these tools to be very useful and helpful for my own use.
