We’ve been hearing about some pretty cool assignments from classrooms across the U.S. where teachers at all grade levels are using Google products to bring history lessons to life, illuminate new sources of information, and encourage sharing and collaboration. What we’ve also heard loud and clear is that teachers want more information about using Google products, and more connections to other educators who are using the web creatively. This is why we’ve launched a set of resources for K-12 educators today at the new
Google for Educators
site. Here you'll find teachers’ guides for 12 Google products, including basic information about each, examples of how educators are using them, plus lesson ideas. We’re also offering some additional multimedia content, including lesson plans and videos from Discovery Education that use
Google Earth
and
SketchUp
, and a series of podcasts at
Infinite Thinking Machine
on innovative ways to use the web in the classroom.
So please, teachers, students, and parents -- check it out and
let us know what you think
. And remember, we've made it impossible to forget your homework when it’s saved safely on
Google Docs & Spreadsheets
.
