Google Refreshes Service for Educators for the Fall

Yes, one of our favorite search engines has enhanced their services for educators this fall. First, as if you have not already noticed, Google Instant made it debut last month, so long before you're finished typing, Instant search starts predicting your search and showing results. Google says this can save you 2-5 seconds per search and the search gives predictions that can help guide your search. Wow, searching on the net is now like search databases (and helps correct those spelling errors)!

In addition, Google has updated Google Earth with version 5 the latest edition of the virtual globe software. Don't forget about Google Voice which allows you to combine your computer with your phone, check out Google Forms which allows you to collect data from parents and students, and the ever popular Google Images.

Well, you know the drill --- Google (http://www.google.com/) it!
