week four post

Google apps could help me as a teacher in the classroom because it is a shared community whereby I could get tips on lesson plans and different activities during the school year. There is also, 24 hrs technical support and coolaboration.

As a teacher, I can also use the templates, lesson plans, and the online calendar and blogs to supplement my lessons. I could setup a classroom website to post the students homework, assignments and grades so that the students and their parents would be able to keep up to date with their progress during the school year.
