The different tools that Google offers are really neat. I have used Picasa for a few years now with my pictures. It is a free and easy way to "spice" up any photos with special effects, cropping, fixing red eye, and even making albums. Also, I currently use the google calendar for an organization I am in. We all have access to it, and officers post meetings and activity dates on the calendar. It comes in handy. I knew about these tools; however, I did not know about the google translator, http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=EN. This is an easy way to translate languages. It has several languages you can choose from, and it translates quickly and on the spot.
All of these tools mentioned can easily be used in a classroom. Any type of photo project students might be doing, they can use Picasa. A teacher needing to organize one's personal life, work life, and classroom could definitely use the Google Calendar. And, there are always projects that need translating, so that tool can be implemented within a classroom with no problem.These tools are great. My favorite thing about them though is that they are so easy to use, anybody can do it! So, try them out!
