GradeProof - This correct grammatical errors.   The option are great.  Located in the right hand corner a window appears that list your options.  (Potential improvement to make)

5.     Google Tone-  Teachers often get frustrated sometime when they give detail instructions on how to access a Web-site and there is usually students that can’t get it.  Tone takes away the  detail instructions.  The teacher just have to ensure the extension is install on all the computer.  This is an excellent tool for teaching.  If I am a teaching English an want the student to read  a article I just have to use Tone to share the URL.

  

6.     Schedule Calendar Events with Boomerang -  Application allows users to save time. For example, users no longer have to send email to invitees announcing the meeting and suggesting time.  Boomerang Calendar allows individuals  to select time within minutes and it will schedule the invite.

7.    Self-graded Quizzes in Google Forms - This can be a plus for teachers the automatic grading is a plus.  This can be used as a refresher after a lesson is completed.  This  can be a pre/post for students.  Administer at the beginning of a lesson and at the end of lesson.

8.       8. Create a YouTube Playlist – Excellent activity for students to create a Youtube Playlist.
