Google for the classroom

As you can probably tell from previous postings, I really appreciate all of the products Google has come out with.  I use Google products many times each day at work.  I'm especially pleased that Google has branded a series of these as Google Apps for Education.  

Here's a video from Google that speaks to their work in cloud computing for education and other organizations:

If you have some time this summer, I highly recommend trying some of these out.  All  you need is one Google ID (like a Gmail address, which is free) to use them all.

My favorites for the classroom are GoogleDocs (no surprise there!) and Google Talk.  I use both of them pretty regularly.  Try them out-especially Google Docs-it works great with Twitter to keep in contact with your kids, and the best part is that iTouches can access GoogleDocs content.
