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
