Google launches 'Google for Educators'

Google is stretching it's already massive reach even further by launching their newest classroom project "Google for Educators". According to Cnet.com:

Late Wednesday, the search giant launched the site Google for Educators. The site includes how-to video tutorials for products like Blogger; lesson plans for applications like Google Earth; and links to a training academy for those who want to become a "Google certified teacher," a pilot program for teachers to learn about technology.

The Google for Educators website states:

Google recognizes the central role that teachers play in breaking down the barriers between people and information, and we support educators who work each day to empower their students and expand the frontiers of human knowledge. This website is one of the ways we're working to bolster that support and explore how Google and educators can work together.

As a start, we're inviting you to share your best ideas for using technology to innovate in the classroom.

As students and educators, we are also inviting you to take some time and familiarize yourself with the Google for Educators guides and tools and share your opinions. Do you find them useful for yourself? Do you think they can be useful classroom tools? What are your thoughts?
