One object on google that I explored was the book section.I thought this would be helpful in a classroom because students can explore different books and also read reviews on the books before they open them up. This would be more helpful for students who are older. Here is an example.

Anothdr Google object that I explored would be the translation device. This would be great to use for English Language Learners in the classroom. It translates to many different languages and has many opportunities. I also looked at Picasa on Google. This could be helpful for projects in many areas allowing the students to edit their own photos.



I would use Google Calendar for a planner for parents to see what is due. Since some students neglect bringing home their planners for parents to see, the parents can always see what is due and what the plan for the day is.

I thought that Google groups could be useful for discussions online similar to D2L. Since the teacher can create their own group discussion it could be about any subject and work very well.
