After viewing and playing with the Google Tools I have found that the translator and Alert tool was my favorite. Both these tools can be very useful in the classroom for any type of teacher. The Alert tool can be a great resource because you can search for a specific topic that you can have access with at your finger tips. This is great because instead of searching daily you just need to open your email and see what has come to you for the day. I especially like this tool because I work in a daycare and I am always looking for craft ideas. With this tool and having a smart phone I just need to open my email and see what I have for the day.

The translator tool was also great because many teachers have a variety of students who speak different languages. This tool can help you translate things for student use as well as teacher use. If a n ELL students writes better in Spanish you as a teacher can easily translate it to read it. Also a teacher can make test in the language best for the student to understand. This tool is great for not only teachers but as well as parents. Communication can be an obstacle for teachers and parents because some parents might not know English and it be difficult for parents to understand what their children are doing in the classroom.
