You gotta' love Google!

So do you Google? I thought I was a strong Googler, if I may. However, I have been only just scratching the Google surface. Google is really an amazing playground of technology resources. Some thing are just for play, while others can really enhance student learning. Let's take a look....

Google docs
Google docs is now an online storage place that is free. You will probably become addicted to Google docs, for professional and personal use. Google allows you to use all of their tools and bells and whistles without having to switch over to gmail.

Sketch Pan

I found a great site for sketching and animation online. I spent about 20 minutes and created this animation. I really can't draw, but this is me climbing a tire obstacle on an adventure race I participated in recently.



This is really easy to use and totally free.
