Thing #12

Google Tools

My family has been using Picasa to store and edit family photos for years. We have also used Google documents several time throughout the years. Google truly has some amazing free resources. For this assignment I downloaded and explored the Google Translate app for my Iphone and it is amazing. I will have a Ipad in my classroom and will have the Google translate app to use for any ELL students I may have. I also used the Google translate to translate historical documents from English to Spanish which would also be a great classroom resource. Another resource that is priceless in any social studies classroom is Google Earth. Google Earth can be used to give students real world perspective on global locations.

  1. Good idea!!! To use Google translate for a history class maybe to translate old historical documents. I would use Google translate to show my students different cultural languages when we did a bell ringer that related to a different country.
