Our group chose to focus on the Google application tools. There are so many tools offered and more being developed so often. One great plus to Google is that all the applications are free, which makes them even more attractive to use for teachers and students.
Each group member is focusing on a different tool or group of tools. I have focused my part of the presentation on the Geo tools offered, including Google Latitude, Panoramio, and Google Earth. I chose these to focus on because I love traveling and exposing my students to different parts of the world. Having a global perspective is so important to being open minded and accepting everyone for who they are. If students are exposed to a real life picture of the remote parts of the world, they are more likely to want to explore the world beyond their neighborhood.
You can see the Google Presentation slides I put together to show the Google Geo features by clicking here. I did not include transitions in my presenter notes because we had not decided what the entire slideshow was going to look like in the end. I thought it would be more work for someone to take my transitions and change them to match the whole presentation than to add them in to fit best.
