Google in the Classroom

Using Google in the classroom can be very advantageous for all teachers.  In my school, our BSAT committee communicates through Google Docs updating meeting notes, events, and agendas so that the staff are gathering appropriate data for each determined area of need.  

Google chat, Gmail, Google Docs, and any avenue for communicating with parents would be a great strategy to involve parents and possibly improve attendance for at-risk students.  I like how one post mentioned scheduling conferences with parents through Google and how they update assignments regularly for parents and students.
