I chose Google Calendar first. I chose this because I have used it previously and I do find it very convenient to use. The main reason for its convenience is that it is shareable with anyone, publicly or privately. Also, anyone given permission can make changes to the calendar. Therefore, it makes communication about appointments very accessible. As far as educational use, it could be used/shared with students in order to give them a further visual representation of when their assignments are due and when they will be having tests. Also, the parents can have access to this as well and be in better communication with the teacher since paper syllables do not always make it to the parents nor last through a semester.
The next thing I chose was Google Books since I do want to be and English teacher in the future. I have also used Google Books in the past because it makes buying books cheaper as well as more accessible. It is fairly easy to find a book because the search engine is nearly identical to the standard Google search engine. Many options appear and for most of the books there is a preview to see before the user decides to buy it. This has many educational purposes. The students, through Google books, can find any book they would need for class and it's a bonus that the prices are cheaper or similar to those on Amazon, and are readily available.
