In my class this semester I am learning how to use google. So this sounds so simple, but there is so much that you can do with google. You can go in and use google docs, which is a word document, Google+, this is kind of like facebook, google maps, google maps has been my favorite thing to learn about. I never knew all of the different things that you are able to do with google maps. The fact that you can go into building is amazing, even just to walk down a street and see all the different places, and how it differs from your home.
This is having a huge issue on education today. The fact that this allows us to tour cities all over the world is amazing. This now allows us to go on virtual field trips without leaving the classroom. Not only will this save on your budget, but the students will still be able to get the experience as if they were there.
Teachers should use this because some students families are un-able to travel and to see what the world has to offer, by getting on google maps you are able to get many views from all over the world without having to go anywhere. Along with this, google docs allows you to be able to communicate with each other while you are not able to be with the person. This would be very helpful if a student was unable to attend classes for a long period of time. Because of google docs this student would still be involved with the class discussions and still be able to do the projects that they are asked to do, from their homes.
There are so many unknowns about what all google has to offer. There is so much that i have learned, but so much that i am wanting to learn. I have never used google hangout, this is something that i would like to know more about. The best way i think to learn more about this would be to just go and try it. Mess around with it. Without trying it you will not be able to learn how to use to. If there is something that you are unable to figure what to do, you can always google how to do it, google has so many answers.
