Having a Google account opens up and amazing array of online tools and applications that could be used to create effect in your classroom.
A Google account allows for such things as the creation of online documents/spreadsheets/presentations (think PowerPoint) for collaboration, creating and saving online maps with Google Maps, blogs for classes or students, RSS feeds through iGoogle, shared calendars etc as well as software such as Google Earth, Sketch Up and Picassa.
To create a Google account, use the following link: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
Please note, if students are to have their own individual account in SINA to be able to create an account as no 2 Google accounts can have the same email address. So class email logins will only work once.

Some of the students at St. Therese's now have their own iGoogle accounts. Very exciting!
The St. Therese's Staff will be shown how to create their own so that they might show the students in their classes as well. Next will be how to se up and maintain a Blog.
