Google Tools and Docs

Google tools and Docs can level the playing field because they are readily available to use. You do not have to purchase special programing to be able to use it. Your able to put to together professional presentations, spreadsheets and word documents. All you need is access to a computer and Internet connection. Students can use public library facilities and they can create a free account and save their work they did away from school and using another computer I will be able to access their work.
They do not have to worry about printing or saving to a flash drive if they do not have one. I think anything that saves money and cuts down on needing paper which, in turn helps the environment is a wonder asset to the students and the environment. And in my opinion Google tools are more user friendly than Microsoft's Version. I will definitely take advantage of Google tools in my classroom. I will also be using it myself to put together presentations. Their spreadsheet is great for keeping up with grades and your classroom budget. Word document will be useful for reports that students need to practice typing and navigating the Internet.
