Teachers are constantly trying to find an efficient, cheap and easy way to communicate and connect with their students and their parents. Google has developed a application for teachers. On it, students can chat in real-time, get last minute help from the teacher and share links and to helpful sources as well as submitt assignments to either the teacher or to their peers to be edited. Parents can also get involved by setting up their own google account, they can be added to the class webpage. There, the busy parent can conference online with the teacher as well as keep track of their child's progress and assignments. The google blogger can also be useful for teachers to keep students and parents alike updated on news, assignment deadline changes, and classroom progress and problems. Google also has a book search program that can assist students with research.
