Many of the google docs we discussed in class on Wednesday are very good tools to be used in the classroom. The calender, for instance, is a great tool to be able to look up important dates and such. This is especially useful for a history teacher. Igoogle is another very useful tool because you can organize and create different things to display for the class. It can be a nice, creative way to make the students enjoy learning.
Picasa is a tool that allows you to edit and share photos. This would be useful in a classroom as well because you can display photos for the entire class to see, which is a much easier way for many students to learn if they see visuals.
The final doc was Knol. It allows you to create, collaborate, and publish credible web sources. This is again a useful tool for a teacher because it is a useful way to discuss things with other students and teachers.
As a teacher, I will incorporate these tools in the classroom by somehow sneaking them into my lessons. Maybe find some examples of math problems, and display them for the class, etc.
