Discussion on links
When I looked at the links provided, I thought the most interesting for me were Google Maps and Google News. With both of them, I can use them professionally and personally. Google News gives me an additional up to date news source to keep up with current events. With Google Maps, it helps give me directions trying to locate a certain location, which I use in my business regularly. These sites could also be used in the classroom, especially in Social Studies and Geography.

I like when I run into sites I can use professionally and personally. It seems more meaningful for the students that way too. My students are definitely more interested in something when they can use in their personal lives.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the Google features are awesome. I started using google for everything even my for my classes and introduced it to my husband too!
