7 Wonderful Google Docs Tutorials for Teachers
Google Drive has all the features that make it a very powerful productivity suite for teachers. Besides being able to create documents, slides, drawings and spreadsheets , users can also upload their own PDFs and files and sync them with their Google Drive accounts across different devices.

A nice complement to this visualization is the children's book If the World Were a Village by David J. National Geographic's " Who Is the World's Most Typical Person ?" Pairing this video with The Miniature Earth Project allows for media literacy tie-ins, because the music has an effect on the way the message is perceived. One of our student's favorite websites is Breathing Earth .
