Google Form, Google Earth, Word Cloud, and Mind Mapping
This week I learn in class four new tools:
The first one was Google Form. It was easy tool to use and wonderful for me as a teacher to make quizzes and survey related to classroom. The most things I like about this tool that I can see all students answers after they submit it in kind of table format, which is cool to read and grad. I really like the different kinds of background format that I could use. As I said before, it is good tool for creating quizzes, especially the choices of choosing the answer box, which includes text, text paragraph, or multiple choices.
Then, Google Earth is a good to use it, in classroom because it gives 3D pictures that helps students to explore places they could not go before. I really think to use this tool with students to enhance their writing skills by make them travel around the world and choose place to take about it after they take the pictures.
After that, Mind Mapping which is a tool helps to organized ideas or thought. Teacher could use this tool in classroom to organize her lesson plan or with the students. To me, I will use this tool to help the students to make their essay brain storm. Also, I will use to organize my classroom activities schedule.  
Lastly, Word Clouds which is a program could be used in education. This tool helps to create cloud-shaped based to the words that I used. I think I will use this tool in my class to help the students enhance their vocabulary words. I mean every week, students have to find synonyms words and presented in the classroom or in blog.
