Google Tools for EducatorsSTEFANIE FOX
Most Useful Tool
Google Calendar I love keeping physical planners but this is a great online tool!
So easy to add information
Simple to share with others and plan
Successes
Google Calendar was much easier to use than I thought it would be
Google Maps was fun and simple to make – great way to keep a record of vacations or plan trips
Google + is a great way to connect and network
Challenges
Blogging is a difficult concept for me and it will take some time to adjust
Took me some time to figure out how to add items to my blog
Google Drive has taken me some getting used to – my district recently started using it but I’m starting to feel more comfortable with it now
Moodle and Online Learning
• Slightly confusing and difficult to navigate at first• Have now taken quite a few classes and feel very
comfortable
• Great way to connect with classmates throughout duration of course
• Love the ability to share ideas and ask for help in the forums
• Perfect for working at own pace and during individual schedule
