To Google or Not to Google...

     In the wonderful (hmm, in-tim-i-da-ting) world  of technology, and the super exciting universe of teaching, Google tools has become more relevant. Many Intermediate (4th-6th) classrooms can be found using Google Tools and more specifically Google Classroom. Google classroom allows teachers to ingrate a learning platform that reinforces collaboration, through technology. Teachers can also more easily distribute and grade assignments while going paperless!  
    In my endeavors to remain teachable and curious I set out to find some Google Tools that make teaching and learning just a little more fun!...

1. Docs Translation: over a hundred different translation options. Very exciting for our English Language Learning students and families. 

2. Reference tools: within Google docs we have access to a dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopedia.

3.Shared folders: I can receive, edit, and color code shared folders. I can also share my folders

4.Privacy: Documents can be published publicly or privately.

5. Annotate with footnotes: annotations can footnotes can be added to any document.

6.  Google Mobile. We can access our tools from anywhere
