  • Use the image search. Type in your search word, then select Images to use the image search when trying to put a picture to your term. Get a definition. If you want a definition without having to track down an online (or a physical) dictionary, just type "definition:word" to find the definition of the word in your results (i.e.: "definition: serendipity" will track down the definition of the word "serendipity").

    This link is great for teachers to use, especially now that many schools are moving to Google. I particularly like the brief reminders on things that I might not think of for using Google products. This would also be a great resource for students just getting to know the products or older teachers that are less familiar with some of these things.

    Sarah Thank you so much for posting this. We were just given permission from our curricilium director that we are allowed to go ahead with Google for Education, so I think this is going to be a great tool to help my teachers with this project. I agree that this recourse can be used very effectively in the classroom. Teachers are always looking for simples tricks and tools, and this offers so many different choices all within one platform! I think this can be used for both teachers and students, but teachers will find more benifits at the beginning because they will be the ones who are introducing all of these tricks to their students, who will then take off with the different tricks! There are other search engines, like Yahoo and Bing, but nothing seems to come close on all the different educational "apps" that are housed like what Google has to offer. It is simple, convienant, and it is something that seems to be lasting, which is always a HUGE plus when it comes to technology trends!

    I agree, Megan! Emma, happy to hear you are moving to Google Apps for Education. I made the switch my first year of teaching and haven't looked back! Google has so much to offer, and for free usually, that the possibilities seem endless. It has totally revolutionized how I thought I'd be teaching!

    Google has so many hidden tricks that nobody knows about! Being aware of these can help you use Google to the most of its ability. I would definitely use this since I want to use Google in my classroom. I have found out how wonderful Google is, and I didn't know some of these tips! This is for teacher use for obvious reasons. There are many lists of things out there, but this is a less known topic so there probably aren't too many.
