 * ** PLAYING WITH TECH TOOLS. **
 *  [|ShowMe] and [|InClass,] as well as other apps for the iPad, iPod, and iPhone.
 *  [|Google apps] for learning, trying to get more paperless for next year
 * Google has irrevocably changed our lives. People will argue adamantly on both sides of the Google fence — whether its omnipotence is harnessed for the good or for the evil. But in the education space, at least, I’d like to point out a few free and useful [|Google tools for educators].
 *  [|Google Earth] . Explore remote crevices of the earth from a bird’s eye view to an intimate close-up street view. Just type in an address and you’re off!
 *  [|Google Docs] . Schools are using this handy tool to share files, spreadsheets, presentations, and documents that can be worked on simultaneously by multiple people. No additional software necessary.
 *  [|Sketchup] . A designer’s dream, students can use this program to create 3-dimensional models (try your school, a California mission, or your own house). Teachers can use it for history, calculus, algebra, or any other creative way they see fit.
 *  [|Education Apps] . Everything from creating a classroom website to Gmail class accounts to synchronized calendar system, to instant messaging between teachers and students.
 *  [|Google Lit Trips] . Take students on virtual expeditions by plotting out the geography of a book’s plot — everything from The Aeneid to Macbeth. Though this is not technically a Google app, it is a byproduct of the Google Certified Teachers program, according to its creator Jerome Burg.
