After delving into the Google playground I found that I don't see a huge usage for me as an educator of elementary students but see many applications for educators of older students. I am giving Google Alerts a try using "Severe Weather" as my topic, can't wait to see if I'll like it.
Google Notebook was quite interesting and I can see very valuable to high school and possibly middle school students for collecting their research notes. I am tempted to try it with my 5th graders for a small research project just to see if they can handle it. I see copyright/plagiarism becoming an issue for many students, especially younger ones fighting the copy/paste temptation.
