40 ways to use Google apps in the classroom

This slideshow explains good ways to use Google apps in the classroom. I thought this was cool because it is mainly what we have been using in our class, and I like it so far. I especially like how you can share things with other people without having to make a copy or email it. Instead, you can just use Google Drive to share your work with others.

This article gives 40 ways to use Google apps, but I am going to pick my top 5 favorites.

1. Create a shared lesson plan repository. With this, like we have for our class, you can share information with your students.
2. Improve the writing process. Students can work collaboratively from Google apps anywhere. This allows students to peer review other students' work and get ideas for their own work, as well as create stories together at the same time.
3. Coordinate sign ups. This can be used for parents coming in to speak, for parties, for volunteer opportunities, for conferences, and basically everything in between.
4. Create amazing presentations. This is like PowerPoint, but is free! Students can easily create presentations on Slides through Google Apps.
5. Google Forms. This allows you to take surveys, assess students' learning, and get opinions from your class.

Google is free and helpful in so many ways, and I think that we, as teachers, are lucky to have it and will be using it very often when we start our careers.
